VR is gonna get wild in like 5 years if they keep this up

Have you seen some of the demos people have been building with Unreal 5.3? Insane stuff. In a decade, this stuff will be hard to tell from reality.

  Sounds cool - got any specific ones to share?

      The geometry and lighting is amazing but I couldn’t detect any animation, like gentle motion due to wind.

        Some motion due to wind, in another video: https://youtu.be/_B9hkn6wgNA?feature=shared&t=24 https://youtu.be/_B9hkn6wgNA?feature=shared&t=24

      That's really good, though I also want to point out some of the amazing graphics that modders accomplished in Crysis (2008): https://youtu.be/3w6COXBfIY4 https://youtu.be/3w6COXBfIY4

      Incredible.

      The new avatar (blue skin not arrow) game looks like this demo with some characters tossed in to control.

This is why I'm high on the metaverse long term. In ten years, there will be a $500 (or whatever the 2033 inflation adjusted value is) VR headset that blows the Apple Vision Pro out of the water in terms of optics, will run a highly optimized version of the lastest revision of Llama locally (and it will be much better than anything we currently have today), come with wifi 8 (so it will have multigigabit per second real word performance), capable of rendering graphics that look much more realistic than Unreal Engine 5 (with high frame rates due to AI upscaling and frame generation). There will be people that will spend almost every waking hour with one of those things attached to their face if they can also make this device lightweight and comfortable

  In 2040 we will have lenses with 32k displays and gpus with 10 trillion transistors and 1 petabyte of memory. Its hard to predict what you can do with that. The real world would be empty by then.

    The real world is much richer than a bunch of stuff just being projected in to your eyes. You can’t climb a tree in VR.

      Maybe for some. But for those living in unfortunate circumstances (low socioeconomic status, small apartment, poor future prospects, etc) I bet a VR world of paradise and social connection is far more inviting.

  And yet I'll still be waiting five weeks to just download the world because I'm stuck on 2Mb/s ADSL.
