Video games are known for pushing the envelope when it comes to graphics, but what will they look like in the next decade? We’re taking a look at some of the new technologies and trends that could revolutionize the way we play games.
Higher quality graphics
You’ve probably heard a lot about video game graphics. As graphics improve, games become more realistic and immersive—and that’s only one part of what makes them fun. But what does it mean for developers to be able to create higher-quality, more detailed graphics? It means we can expect the following:
-More compelling storylines
-Interactive gameplay
-Amazingly lifelike characters, buildings and objects
More realistic gaming worlds
In the next decade, video games will become more realistic. Graphics will be more detailed and frame rates will be higher to make things look smoother. Physics engines that simulate gravity and other physical properties like wind resistance will get better at simulating real-world physics. Artificial intelligence (AI) in both NPCs and other players will also become more realistic, making the gameplay feel like you’re interacting with real-life people as opposed to AI bots.
The environments we see in video games are getting more detailed too: You can expect to see buildings made from actual bricks instead of 2D projections on flat surfaces; doors that open when you walk up to them; windows that reflect light realistically; and 3D objects placed in rooms so they actually look like they belong there (like a book sitting on a table). Characters’ faces are becoming more realistic thanks to motion capture technology that captures facial expressions by mapping them onto computer models—this means game characters can now look believably sad or happy while speaking lines written by voice actors! And finally, sound design is getting better all the time—you’ll hear things like footsteps echoing off metal floors or birds chirping outside an open window as your character explores!
Augmented and virtual reality technology
Augmented reality and virtual reality are two terms that get thrown around a lot in the gaming community, but what exactly do they mean? And how can they affect your gameplay experience?
Augmented reality (AR) is the integration of digital information with the user’s environment. It enhances real-world experiences by making it possible to interact with virtual objects in real time. A great example of AR is Pokémon GO, where you can use your smartphone camera to see Pokémon hiding in the world around you. While this game was originally launched using only GPS technology, it has since been updated so that players can now play indoors or outside without any problems!
Virtual reality (VR) allows users to experience things that aren’t actually happening by immersing them in an artificial environment. VR headsets create this immersive experience by projecting images directly onto the user’s retinas, creating a 3D effect similar to looking through binoculars or standing on a cliff edge! You can explore new worlds and interact with characters just like if they were real people.
