In video games, the
first person refers to a
graphical perspective rendered from the viewpoint of the player character. In many cases, this may be the viewpoint from the cockpit of a vehicle. Many different genres have made use of first-person perspectives, ranging from
adventure games to
flight simulators. Perhaps the most notable genre to make use of this device is the
first-person shooter, where the graphical perspective has an immense impact on game play.
