Steven Spielberg talked about the future of the gaming industry, he believes traditional gaming consoles will die out and be replaced by virtual reality devices that enable you to interface directly with your TV:
"In the short term I would love to start seeing 3D games developed where with a good pair of glasses we get a real three-dimensional experience in front of an appropriate monitor that is designed just for 3D," he said. "After that, will certainly be virtual reality, which just like 3D came and went in the 1950s, and now it's here to stay in movies."

"I really think virtual reality, which experimentally came and went in the eighties, is going to be redeveloped, just like 3D is being redeveloped today, and that's going to be the new platform for our gaming future."
