Once we have sufficiently good HMDs (maybe Oculus 5?), we could hook on up to a supercomputer running a version of Luxrender, as that should be capable of providing the necessary physical realism to get over the uncanny valley. Of course this is not feasible for constant usage, but more of a technology demo.
I believe we have the necessary technology to get this working within a year, provided the Luxrender guys get some engineers with experience in clusterizing existing software. This could be the visual part of a holodeck.
- skohan 8y agoHMD's are a pretty good solution to VR, but there are still a number of unsolved problems which can't be addressed by higher pixel density, faster refresh, and more powerful GPUs. For instance, how do you account for the focal adjustments your eye makes when you look at objects at different distances in a virtual scene when you are staring at a screen only a short distance from your face?
