Yeah, but I am not just talking about VR and things like that. When real-time 3D (and "pseudo-3D" via DOOM) originally came out it was something NEW and EXCITING. There were really no "big fish" in the pond, so to speak. Yes, there were big gaming companies, but id was really a nobody, Epic was a fairly new name and all these other guys (Bungee, etc) where not even on the map as yet. It was an adventure ... uncharted territory (for the most part).

So the question is, what is the next frontier? If we keep this in the context of games, then where do we go next? Yes, we can keep improving 3D games until they look like movies, but that is to be expected. That will not even be "new" even when it is "new". This is the path we are already heading toward. What I am wondering about is the next thing that will take us all by surprise. And I am thinking about something that anyone could get involved in (like we could with real-time 3D content creation back in the days of Unreal, etc). In other words, what is the next, great garage-created technology that will take us by storm?

Maybe there isn't going to be one ...
