Matrix-like virtual reality just a few years away?

Submitted by Anonymongoose
Anonymongoose writes "A researcher at Brookhaven National Lab reckons it could be just a few years before computers can pass the Graphics Turing Test. This lesser-known variant of the Alan Turing's famous test for artificial intelligence states that a computer can be considered intelligent if it can create an artificial world capable of fooling a person into believing it is the real thing. Michael McGuigan has been performing some interesting experiments using Brookhaven's Blue Gene/L supercomputer and has shown that it can produce recreate realistic lighting effects in real time. Here's McGuigan's original research paper (pdf)."
