Once photorealism is achieved, what will be next?

What will the industry push for when photorealism has become the norm?  Will virtual reality be gaming's next pursuit?  Perhaps, larger scaled games in which the maps of sandbox titles, RPG's and FPS's are the size of continents rather than cities or small countries.  I'd like to see your thoughts.

Personally, I'd love it if once Photorealism is achieved, we see less and less of it as more art styles are explored and become mainstream.

Discuss?

Photorealism has already being achieved. I don't think virtual reality will ever happen. The virtual boy ruined that idea!!!!!! lol!!!!!!!
