Of course they will, if you're including the universe of VR/AR/XR and whatever other evolution might occur in the field.
It's like asking whether color movies will replace black and white.
Depth literally adds another dimension. It's literally 2d to 3d. In the same way you wouldn't want to go from movies back to still images, or color movies to black and white. Why would you want to look at a flat image in front of you when you could have a device that can replicate that flat image OR show you a 3d model.
- nihonde 9y agoOdd choice of analogy, since many people did not prefer 3D films when those were put into wide release, and 3D televisions were a huge flop. Edit: I don't disagree that VR will be extended to a wide range of mainstream applications...just pointing out a problem with the analogy of color/B&W film.
- ethbro 9y agoIt's pre-digital horizon, but I'd be curious if there was significant rejection of early color film technology due to its (I'm guessing) inferiority to a mature black and white process. From memory, I believe early film with sound did have this issue. Although as caused by direction problems as technical ones.
- nihonde 9y agoYes, my edit was confusing. I didn't mean color/B&W, but rather 2D/3D transition. I'm sure color was a big hit. Your point about sound is really interesting, too.
