Graphics Quality on Video Games
When will the graphics on video games equal and be difficult for the naked eye to distinguish from video pictures? Not HDTV or 3D, just video. Any guesses?

The CEO Position is Open
If you could be CEO of either Google or Microsoft, which would you run? Personally, I’d probably say Microsoft simply because they currently have the most potential for growth, and it’s somewhat fun to be the underdog. Maybe being the underdog (at least in the Internet space) will allow part of Microsoft to innovate and…

Why do we wear socks?
I’ve always thought that socks were a funny thing. They’ve always seemed pointless to me except for in a fashion way. I read the page about socks on the Wikipedia and all I can guess is that socks are useful for absorbing sweat. Can anybody tell me the history of socks?
Solitude or Coworkers – Which is better?
Do you work all by yourself or do you have co workers? Which do you prefer? I am actually mixed on this question. At times in my life I have worked in solitude and gone crazy mad, and at the same time accomplished amazing amounts of work. Other times, having people to share the day…
Improve your vision with eye exercises
Have you ever heard those radio ads where an enthusiastic voice will tout the merits of eye exercises? I’ve always wondered if those work. My friend Bryan also wonders if wearing glasses worsens your vision. One site I visited said this: Eyeglasses and contacts only act as band-aids. They don’t improve your eyesight. And various…

Generation after next. Next generation (by which I mean PS4, XBOX 450) will see players’ expectations exceed content generation budgets, and a rise in crude procedurely generated content, and *almost* enough triangles to look real (including true displacement maps), with some nurbs etc. The one after, will feature almost entirely procedural content, including hardware procedural geometry that needs no LOD modelling etc, and the phasing out of triangles for geometry.
That’s my 2c anyways 🙂
Hard to top MrFunk’s comment, i’d have to agree.
I dunno. That NBA 07 is pretty darn close to real. I was in a barber shop recently and didn’t realize that some of the off duuty barbers were playing it. I thought it was a real game until I paid real close attention.
I say 2, maybe 3 more years. With 8x processors and external graphics cards and physics cards, it’s coming.
Better question, how long until the computer out ranks the television for the main source of entertainment in most households?
My naked eye can’t distinguish a video game from a hole in the ground. I am about as blind as it gets. If I take my glasses off, everything seems “real” because it’s all “really out of focus”.
Our expectations of games’ video will always be led by the the best video available. With the current 1080p resolutions available, for graphics to become more realistic and similar to 1080p, IMHO, the video graphics will need to go past the 1080p. In other words, we need a four to ten fold development of graphic cards to reach that.
