The next step up for graphics ?

This looks interesting to say the least. 100,000 x better graphics  ::)

I think the best graphics I've seen to date has to be the new Tomb Raider.    Incredible  :o
I can only imagine what they'll be like in, say, 10 years.

Would make for an interesting flight sim, no? I understand the point being made, but it looks like it'll be one of those wait and see kind of things. Would be cool though!

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

It's an interesting technology which certainly has many uses, however the idea of voxels is not new and it also has many disadvantages which were not discussed in the video, because it was essentially a marketing video.

Here's my problem:
100,000 times faster=100,000 times more powerful computer.
100,000 times more powerful computer=200,000 times more expensive. :o
Sorry but I just don't see that happening flawlessly in 20 years and coming down to a reasonable price :( :P ::).

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
