VR and AR will become more widespread, while traditional consoles will get more powerful as they always have. Phones will reach a point where they can offer graphics on par with current games. I'm hoping for a working holodeck by the 2030's personally. 

More like... 2300.

Even with a technological singularity happening in the next decades, i doubt a StarTrek Holodeck is possible prior the end of the 21st century.

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.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Vr is a fad or at best niche. That crap makes me motion sick.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Maybe we'll see mind controlled games, who knows.

someone somewhere will start WW3 in 2018, and we're back to playing tic tac toe in the sand

The 2020's will be dominated by VR. Xbox and PlayStation are going to be trading blows like Apple and Google, and we will have new hardware on a bi-yearly basis. Nintendo will do well with the Switch, and bring Sony and Microsoft into the mix with gaming based phones, based on the PS4/XBO Hardware and OS's. These again will be refreased on a bi-yearly basis.

Along with the above, we will start to see a tiered system for gaming devices. There will be higher end devices from all three companies, to give people the option for better performance, and more features at a price. They will also offer extreamly cheap models that play all of the same games at lower resolution frame buffer, lower res textures, but the same stable frame rate.

I also think we will see physical free versions of the consoles during this time period. with a full transition to digital happening by the 2030's. The disc drive takes up a lot of unnecessary space, and physical based copies will not be able to compete when one digital copy is playable across, mobile, tablet, console, and pc.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Alcohol is a fad or at best niche. That crap tastes awful.

2020? Consoles will be the same as always, just with more of dem Flops. And people will still bitch about grfxx.

The future of VR and AR is in mobile.

I don't think he meant on that level of technology.

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...

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.

By the 2020s they'll probably fix that.

Sorry, I don't think VR will ever take off. I may have jumped on the VR hype but it's clear to me now.

It's a fad like 3D was.
