Can graphics keep evolving? How? For how long?

I was simply speaking from my own personal experience, on the progress I've seen in my own lifetime; the first video game I ever played (which was a showcase for the time) vs a current year showcase.

First I played was space invaders, black and white, I think on an early Atari system.

Anyway that current year showcase shows there's still a lot of room for improvement. It will be great when game developers stop trying to emulate realism with (bad) lens effects. Ditch that crutch to hide the 'flaws'. PS3/360 everything had to be brown and monochrome for realism, now it's like looking through dirty cheap lenses. Hence stylistic games still win over 'realism'.

Graphics can keep evolving for many decades to come. Holographic displays will come at some point then holographic projectors :)

I never minded the way "realistic" games looked either on PS3/360 or today. I thought stuff like Gears of War looked fabulous back then and I think Hellblade II looks fabulous today.

There's definitely room for further improvement, but it still wows me to see how far I've seen games come just in my life.
