Article Abstract:
There have been developments in videogames which use real time composition of scenes. PlayStation 2 from Sony involves major advances in computer graphics, with special graphics chips geared to dealing with curves rather than shapes with straight edges. Curves provide greater realism and can better portray the expressions on a human face. Developments in computer power mean that computer games can move toward a quality that is usually only seen with television and motion pictures.
