Escaping this awful, shitty, boring and disgusting universe is a dream of mine since childhood. That's the only reason I'm living. Otherwise I would kill myself.

Doubling rate is 24 months, so in 2024 there will be 2x more new papers than in 2022.

If VR is 100-110°, then I'm staying with PC monitors, just larger, with higher resolutions, better colors, better contrast and higher refresh rates.

Look: Quest 3 will come three years after Quest 2. It may at best have twice as fast hardware and at a maximum twice the screen resolution. Will be visibly thinner (and probably lighter too). No eye or face tracking - that will have to wait for Quest 4 ... in 2026? In other words: it may have a similar level of graphical fidelity, just at a higher resolution. As you see, progress isn't very fast. It isn't non-existent, but not fast enough. If Quest 5 in 2029 is only 8x faster than the current Quest 2, then it won't be very impressive for someone who has a good PC and a 4K monitor today. It's going in the direction that will have thinner, more comfortable, higher resolution headsets, but nothing like Full Dive.

If you want a bigger screen then buy a curved 34" monitor.

You are looking wrongly at things. Our destiny is not to try to survive in this Universe. Our destiny is to explore infinite virtual worlds for infinity, by using the maximum computation that can be achieved using all dimensions and all matter that can be accessed.

Using Quest 2 feels like a large step back compared to a 4K capable PC and 120 Hz 4K HDR monitor. I don't know how people can use that thing. Don't they know better?

Btw, I think that Meta is hurting VR by using mobile instead of desktop PC. Lightweight mobile devices will always be inferior to larger desktop devices! Compare iPhone 14 with RTX 4090. They are making VR evolve slower and take longer to reach a certain level. How long will it take for Quest to reach 4090 level? 10 years? 15 years? We can have it on desktop this year!

We need GPUs measured in at least hundreds of teraflops (and teratextures, terapixels/s), much faster single-thread CPU performance, 210° field of view, 240 Hz, at least 8K per eye and full eye and face tracking. All of that helped by foveated rendering, upscaling and interpolation. By then, VR will be quite decent, not so bad. Perhaps it is going to happen in the 2030s.

How about some lightweight 8K per eye, 210° FoV headsets with eye and face tracking?

What we needed is a revolutionary display technology and a lot more proceeding speed and memory. Drastically better efficiency is necessary.

I want AR too, but VR is more exciting. Both of these are needed and fun. It would be awesome to have a 3D AI companion you can talk to all the time, in AR glasses or contact lenses. I've been waiting for it since at least 2009. I hope this becomes a reality in 2030.

By the 25% improvement I meant CPUs, not GPUs. 7900X will be 80% or so faster than 6900XT.

Yes, that's true. We are seeing labor shortages, instead of automation making people unemployable. So I don't think humans will not perform work in the near future. To the contrary - in the near future there will be A LOT of work to do by humans.

In fact, unemployment is all time low in many countries. Automation is not replacing jobs faster than it is creating them, as of now. It may change in the future, but not so far. There are a lot of places to work at. And you can create your own business.

(FD)VR is my dream and goal, but current VR is ... crappy. Quest 2 is EXTREMELY underpowered and buying a fully fledged desktop PC with RTX 4090 + Pimax 8K or 12K will be a major purchase and there is hardly any software to run on it. I'm not optimistic about the near future of VR. Just look: Quest 3 will come THREE YEARS after Quest 2 and won't even feature eye tracking, RTX 4080 is a lot worse than the 4090 but still costs $900-1400, AMD needs 2 years to improve gaming performance by 25%, Valve Index has still no successor. All of these aren't boding well for the next 5-7 years of VR. My prediction is that VR before the 2030s will be very crappy. Headsets will be uncomfortable, bulky and with a narrow field of view, etc.

I hope automation kicks into a higher gear and accelerates, because it feels like things are being automated way too slowly. I very much hope for 100% automated farming and harvesting in the 2030s.
