Whether capturing coins and other bounties or competing in a virtually simulated Mach race, gaming continues to evolve and become more immersive as one of the fastest-growing tech-based industries, amassing a global market size of more than $1.45 billion in 2022. Gaming has also been used as a training tool to develop hand-eye coordination for doctors while developing fine motor skills and as a simulation to replicate real-world experiences for military, engineers, and other career sectors. The skills development from gaming, whether in player or support roles, has been instrumental in achieving positive educational outcomes and high potential for embarking on careers with life-sustaining wages.
