Possible? Yes. Likely? No. I'm thinking 15-20 years.

However you might get full body haptics, with photorealistic graphics, and a non invasive bci. This will allow for a very realistic experience that should keep us going until full drive.

Be great if it happens sooner tho.

We technically have "photorealistic" graphics right now with a mix of UE5, Nanite and Photogrammetry.

I think by graphics sumane12 also means displays that also look realistic. Even the best displays aren't quite there and we don't yet have the tech to combine the best graphics with the best display with reasonable refresh rate and latency.

I mean the whole experience, displays are definitely a part of it though.

realistic deformations is probably something that will go a long way to getting us away from uncanny valley in video games, also NPC's controlled by sophisticated LLM's.

I think there is a lot further to go, but we are on our way.
