Technology has been advancing rapidly, and exciting projects are on the horizon. The technological innovations that are being developed now will help eliminate console gaming and lousy Internet. Take a look at some of these technologies that will change the future.
1. Faster Internet
Technology develops so quickly that the Internet isn’t fast enough to do what needs to be done. At present, fiber optic cables can transfer up to 500 gigabits of data per second, and 5G can hit speeds of 10 gigabits per second. The current infrastructure needs to be upgraded, and it is happening. High-resolution data transfer is driving demand for faster and improved Internet.
2. Gaming Streaming
Gaming streaming is driving the demand for service providers. People subscribe to services that let them play video games with a video connection. Google, Microsoft, and other companies create these services, and gamers can sign on and play. Google brings 4K video at 60 fps to any computer with a 30 Mbps speed.
This advance in gaming will likely render console and PC gaming obsolete one day. Today, you need equipment for the game, but you need nothing more than a good Internet connection with these streaming services. It is less expensive, and you can stream games anywhere. Several companies are working on these platforms.
3. Virtual Reality
Tech companies have been working on virtual reality applications, and it is becoming more mainstream. Headsets can produce video in high resolution, and computers have more capabilities to use them. One development is the untethered headset, which allows you to experience VR without being tethered to a PC. Eventually, VR headsets will be able to work anywhere.
4. ToF Cameras
Augmented reality allows you to experience a virtual world within the real world. The development of Time of Flight cameras will make it more of a reality. These cameras are HD, and they have more excellent depth resolution. They can see environments as 3D maps. This technology is used in Pokemon Go, but they develop uses outside of gaming. As the TpoF cameras become widely available, developers will begin creating applications.
