Whatever… It’s just you’ll never be even expected to trust your own eyes anymore, unless you peer right into the real world.
Define real ...
Pragmatism dictates that, even if reality is a simulation, who cares, it's real enough for now.
I know there are companies using virtual models to showcase clothing. Is replacing actors and actresses next? In some ways I don’t mind it, and decentralizing away from celebrity culture may even be a societal good. But I feel like some experiences are better off organic. Is there any point to appreciating - as an example - ballet performed by a virtual dancer with unrealistic athleticism? Will sports matter? Should…
Virtual celebrities are treated the same as real ones, branding is highly valuable. Check out vtubers.
Why would data, which can be replicated, isn't limited to one body, and doesn't care if it lives or dies, be anything like a human on the inside?
Does anyone else kinda feel like videogames look good enough at this point? This demo looks fantastic, but I don't think many visual improvements beyond it seem super exciting to me. I'll take them when they come, of course, and I'm sure that realistic 3D worlds in videogames will continue to look better and better as time goes on. But I dunno. I hope advances in videogame engines do more than just help the biggest A…
Yes, less dealing with LODs using nanite, less worry about drawcall count, less budgeting tri count. And Epic provides huge photogrammetry scan libraries that work well with it.
Real time de-ageing + Zoom + remote job = less age discrimination. Have it randomize other characteristics during job interviews to remove other forms of discrimination too.
You can opt to use no web cam or a virtual webcam with a victor avatar already. There's no need to "deage" yourself when you can be a cute anime cat girl.
The people trying to point out that this falls short of photorealism are missing the point. This is a tech demo aiming to show off the next generation leap unreal engine 5 is making. There’s lots to be impressed about here and this was made using a ton of procedural generation using a team of just about 70 people. Here’s a great deep dive into some of the new technologies that highlights the strengths and weaknesses…
70 people is rather a lot.

I never had a ps4/xbone, skipped the last console cycle and stayed on PC then recently got a PS5 where every title has an option to play at 60fps. There is no way in hell the consoles are going to be able to push this fidelity at that frame rate. Let alone their promise of 120fps that has been floating around.
And the tech like nanite & lumen. It's not as if you can just "turn it off" and pick up a bunch of performance. It seems like you have to develop your game with these tools in mind.
In general I think the new consoles are going to have some trouble, even today games don't render at native 4k, they render much lower then get upsampled, and dynamic resolution is also in place to pick up the slack. The promise of 4k/60fps on a console is kind of smoke and mirrors.

The real excitement will come when it does not require a new $3000 graphics card to run on the home PC I already spent $1500 on... The price of keeping up with every new enhancement on PC is directly linked to each new engine update, but somehow game releases can be "optimized" for gameplay on ~3 year old consoles... Also why I haven't bought any new PC games since GTA5.

I’d argue the opposite - it’s been clear since the early aughts we’d get there. What’s impressive about this demo is specifically the leap it makes towards that. I wouldn’t have expected real-time graphics on consoles to be this close for another generation.
Careful, real time demos have been made before and have turned out to be anything but. I d wait until it s in my hand and I touch the tv trying to open the window for Keanu before I get excited :D
It looks quite good. Not reality but the cityscape is pretty close..
The fun part is the end where they show the some of the secret sauce of how it was rendered.
