Can graphics keep evolving? How? For how long?

[Soundwave]

"Graphics" will eventually just be basically a form of photogrammy and dump polys/textures altogether and anything will be able to display basically photoreal visuals because it'll essentially just be a mismash of "real" and extrapolated photos. Even a smartphone will have that. 

 

It doesn't really take any big imagination to look at some of the higher end games of today and imagine them as photoreal anyway, it's not like some incomprehensible leap from where we are today, it's more like a kind of boring inevitability. 

Graphics are less and less of a factor on their own, most people just expect eye pleasing enough graphics as is, it's like CGI in movies, no one really cares if a movie has the best CGI ever anymore. It's expected, the only time people maybe talk about CGI quality any more is if it's really, really bad and even then most people don't care.
