Speaking of the laws of physics, i suspect the primary limitation for this will be the power supply.
I seem to recall that there are ongoing jokes regarding existing AR games that one basically have to bring a generator (aka car) to keep up with the battery drain of the game.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoI would expect the rendering efficiency to get better fast. The amount of power spent on graphics relative to the actual amount of new information being generated is absurdly high. We should start seeing more experiences designed specifically for low power renderability soon.
- opencl 8y agoWhy do you expect it get better at a significantly higher rate than it has been over the past several decades of computer graphics? Is there some major up-and-coming research on the topic?
- erikpukinskis 8y agoNo, just a kind of Hegelian turn. Computer graphics have been oriented towards emulating photography for many years. That project is nearing its end and still realism is lacking. As people start to realize there is more to seeing than just photography, we will enter an era of discovering more sparing uses of computation. Look to painting for a possible progression. Realism/classicism was just an early maximum. Impressionism followed. And then many other movements. Contemporary painters can do much more with much less.
