Next generation gaming is really interesting to me, like the example, steam boxes are really a hype for me because they are the official "console killer". I myself have a Silverstone Raven RVZ01 steam box sized pc :P

goodluck everyone

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

I'm most excited with Oculus Rift tbh. Saving up for an Oculus Rift racing rig now. Less taxing and more immerse than 3 monitor setup = win.

3D modeling, the possibilities are literly endless, you could print some dinky little thing that broke and you can't find anywhere on the internet and print it for 25¢ in plastic

I'd probably have to go with future Linux support for games. I'm really looking forward to be able to play all my games on my Linux desktop. I was so sick of windows that I switched to Linux but now I'm missing a large majority of my favorite games. 

 

Linux is teh future :)

I'd go with VR but I'm more excited too see what type of things flexible OLED displays will bring to the table. I'd love to see flexible 4K displays that you can roll up or fold into your pocket with your only NUC (like the ones atm but 3-4 times more powerful and efficient), though I wouldn't carry an OLED and NUC around in my pockets lol.

Next Gen gaming will always hold my interest, but I am also curious about wearable tech and home automation!

I'm very excited to see where VR goes. Don't get me wrong, I love 4k but it's adoption is being held back by the videocard industry playing their "cards" close to their chest in a tit for tat game of releasing cards as slow as possible to squeeze out as much money as they can from each chip. VR at least has some decent competition and there's a big push to be the first to market.

I'd go with the future of Linux gaming as well. I think that it would be really cool if someone wanted to game and installed Linux with steam. With Linux being free and massive steam sales, it could be a really easy cheap way to game.
