It is difficult to predict what the future of virtual worlds will look like, simply because my mind is not that technologically advanced to be able to think about the potential for this type of technology. I am always amazed to see what comes out in the future.
Virtual worlds of the future may exist where the user can interact using their own bodies and movements without the use of controllers or computer keyboards. I know that there are video games now where the user puts on some type of helmet and is able to control their character in the game just by moving. Again, I am older and am not really up to date on all of the new age types of technology.
I don't see how they could be made any more real like, but I predict that virtual worlds will be so realistic in the future that you will not even have to use controls just your own imagination. They will probably be utilized more by college students and businesses. Virtual worlds will be great learning tools because you can really learn how to work through real life situations using virtual reality.
