Well, real can only look so real. We are reaching the threshold. In a decade or maybe two I'm confident we'll have hit one to one graphical representations of reality. And that isn't just me dreaming.
actually it maybe even closer than you think graphics wise..take a look at the Brigade 3 engine..it is a photorealistic game engine and it will be ready for video games in 5 years or so, perhaps even sooner.
It's actually worse than that. The average price of an ounce of gold in 1991 was about $360.00. Today it's about $1,250.00 per ounce. That works out to a multiplier of 3.5 times. So actually (in real currency terms) the comparison is: 1991: $175,000.00 to $700,000.00 2014: $300 Yup, I'd say we've make some progress cutting those costs down.
I'm out. It's still got a long way to go. When it starts being substance more than sensation (as in, hype) and the prices are more in tandem with the production costs, I'll be in.

That flying simulator game looks better than N64 game and this is only 1991. 1991 is the year the SNES just came out and we already got these type of graphics without knowing?
That point reminds me about Ray Kurzweil's "Law of Accelerating Returns". VR just wasn't ready in '91 because the technology wasn't efficient, powerful, and was expensive.

3:30, the whole engine thing is an idea I'd like to actually have access to in upcoming VR. I like the idea of being able to learn to take apart engines or build electric cars from scratch using 3D models of existing hardware within the virtual world to learn how everything works before doing it for real, if I wished. Heck, get the 3D model for your own car and go through a repair virtually before attempting it for real...stuff like that.
What the fuck do you mean? The HTC vive is a VR headset that is mass produced, and its a beautiful experience, no headaches, no FPS drops if used with the right machine.
The 90's sure had a knack for dreaming up really peculiar images... I mean, 2:20, what the heck were they thinking?! This makes Dumpy: Going Elephants! look completely logical.
CGI was brand new at the time and people were just going hog wild seeing how far they could take it. Plus the 80s just happened and we hadn't come down from it yet.
I tried this in the early 90's in vienna. I remember that the headsets (or should I say "helmets"?) were extreme heavy and due to the extreme low framerate it was pretty hard to hit something. There were a shooter-, a boxing- and a racing-game. Nice memories though :-)
MRTOWELRACK yeah and even today the gpu horsepower isn't quite sufficient to support something like a 5k resolution that is really needed to remove the screen door effect and improve the optics and field of view.
Jette Christensen However, the screen door effect can also be mitigated by greater per pixel fill, though I agree, VR isn't quite there yet for my desires, but 5, 8, 10 years down the road, VR should be quite impressive.

For mainstream use, you're looking at another 2 years. So more like a quarter of a Century.

And I guess this was before they invented textures.

Wow look at those 10 fps. Haha this is awesome though. Took us a couple years to pick this project back up.

Why did finger movement controllers take so long to come to vr. The first vr had a glove for finger movements
What if this was better than all current virtual reality headsets out now?
