Yeah, I meant just a room that can project holograms, none of that fancy stuff from Star Trek like replicated odors, food, and water; environmental controls that can change the temperature of the air to match the program that's running and make it feel like the wind is blowing; force fields that give the characters physical form and give them the proper tactile feel and warmth; force field treadmills that prevent you from walking into the walls while the image projected on the walls is continually reprojected to make it seem like you can walk forever; etc. That fancy stuff will take alot longer, some of it might happen in my lifetime, but most will not unless we manage to master interstellar travel and meet some friendly aliens who give us a leg-up technologically xD Simple, commerically available holographic rooms are predicted to be available as soon as 2024, though I personally think it might take longer which is why I said 2030's. Sony is already working on one supposedly. |
Oh. You were referring to this...

Keep in mind that no more than 25 years ago we had PC's with 33mhz processors, 1mb of ram and a 600mb HDD, to even try to graph that to todays PCs would be rather hard, to suggest that technology will not evolve from what we have now in virtual reality and Augmented reality for the next 280 years is just insanity. Unless you think there is going to be a second coming of the dark ages from some global catastrophe.
Even if you think about those power house PC's from 10 years ago... now are on par with what you'll find inside a €100 Phone. |
It isn't insanity. It's rational. To reach this level of technology in the next three decades - and i'm talking about 1:1 StarTrek Holodeck tech, not simple C.A.V.E. -, would be like to expect the invention of television in the 17th hundreds. Today we can't even fathom how it could work... or if.
Hunting Season is done...
