Hardly anyone can guarantee their predictions to be 99% correct, but based on current trends and statistics, I would expect virtual and augmented reality technologies in gaming to grow further in the next decades.
Demand for VR/AR gaming is soaring, with the market likely to hit as much as $571 billion by 2025. Sony has invested in the technology in recent years and has seen its share price grow 10 to 20 percent per annum. What’s more, tech giants are starting to dabble in the technology, having appreciated its potential.
Researchers and developers are looking forward to a world where AR/VR applications change the way we sense things. In just a few short years, virtual reality will go from being a relatively kludgy technology to something that’s just about indistinguishable from real life.
Like science fiction come true, we’ll be entertaining ourselves in this metaverse, thanks to a new interface that VR and AR are to provide. Just as keyboards and screens reshaped how we interacted with computers, so this new interface will revolutionize how we think about interacting with people. It could be something you walk around with, or it could be something you wear, perhaps invisibly.
Elon Musk is working on Neuralink, and Facebook is changing its name to Meta. Clearly, the expanding role of VR and AR in our life is now being noticed. One thing we can be sure of is that eventually these technologies will get better and more realistic, and coalesce into a new medium of communication and consciousness.
