"And what will this future look like? The ability to always be in touch with friends and family will be greatly enhanced when we're able to see each other in absolute clarity, anywhere, anytime. We'll find ourselves living, shopping and working more and more inside online worlds. And in the future, you won't be sitting on your couch being passively entertained. Films will become more interactive and more immersive, while games will become more cinematic and realistic. Indeed the program itself also utilizes many cutting edge techniques used in modern film and television production in order to capture the fascinating future of virtual worlds."
