Do you think video game graphics will look so real at some point that people won't be able to tell the difference between them and real life?

I will start a bit early with answering - may it give some ideas for questions :)

I think that it's closing in on that point in some cases. If you take a look at Megascans assets - you need to take a real hard look to realise it is computer graphics.

It may take some time to get at that level in your "average game" - but I am confident it will happen.

Another interesting thing with things like VR: "Most" people lose a sense of where they are within 30-60 seconds. Users experience a very high degree of immersion using VR. No one will forget that they have a VR headset on them, but it does show us that we can trick the brain relatively easily. In fact - we see a very real, and relatively powerful painkilling effect using VR on patients with chronic, or even acute pain.

I’ve experienced this in VR. I was playing a very obviously unrealistic game but somehow my brain thought I could set my VR controllers on the table in the game.

I have around 6000 hours in VR - and still I can make silly mistakes like this from time to time. :D

I feel like a part of this is that we want it to work. We really want this table to be physical, etc. but sadly it is not.
