Can graphics keep evolving? How? For how long?

Photorealism is no big deal anyway, it's going to gradually happen and then become so normalized that people don't care.

Is this photoreal? No, but it's close enough that you get into a territory of "who really cares that much" being a small audience.

In motion, it had the uncanny valley effect. It looks good but they have a white background to trick you. Sorry to bring it up again but the look how real our talking head is. Reminds me of Half-life Tech demo. Dreamcast. PS2. On Shenmue's release, they did the Shenmue passport with talking heads but still backgrounds as just about every ounce of rendering power was put into the talking head. Of course in game models didn't look as good.

Granted Matrix demo has more to it in motion but once we got to the city part of the demo it looked nice but not as nice as CG Keanu. Tech demo's are demo's for a reason. Only brought it up as it's not a new idea.
