Tim Sweeney Quotes

The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what's interesting is those devices don't do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs.

We imagine that some people will jump into the AR and VR space that are complementary. We look at Google Glass. It's very complementary. It's not competitive. It's a different experience. It's used for different purposes.

I'm an investor in a lot of things that have to do with human-computer interaction.

We believe the future of computing should be natural.

Future is mobile computing - smartphones and tablets are just elements of it. The industry is on the verge of a whole new paradigm.

It seems to me so much technology could be applied to entertainment. Augmented reality, and even just the iPad - touch-screen technology, it was, you know, it still is extremely underused by entertainment.

If we want to help Google become something meaningfully different in the future, then that's more likely to happen if we focus on the physical world instead.

The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don't realize are computers at all.

As our various electronic devices gain more and more sensory awareness, we open up the potential for entirely new forms of interaction. Not just new interfaces - tapping and shaking and whatnot - but a shift in presence.

If you look back at when things like tablets and smartphones were first invented, or the Newton at Apple, that was the first attempt at VR. We didn't even have 3D GPUS, or were just getting them.

With the headset and motion tracker and all kinds of different future tracking technologies that we are R&Ding, there is just a huge amount of intelligence that has to be created. So we are looking at hiring some of the brightest minds out there to tackle some of those challenges and deliver the very best experience possible for the consumer.

I'm generally pretty excited about new gadgets, new tech, A.I., stuff like that.

Every application designed for 2D interfaces will be obsoleted by AR.

I believe that augmented reality will be the biggest technological revolution that happens in our lifetimes.

I worked on heads-up displays, virtual-reality technology, and holographic displays - all sorts of really cool technology.

The battle between Google and Apple has shifted from devices, operating systems, and apps to a new, amorphous idea called 'contextual computing.' We have become data-spewing factories, and the only way to make sense of it all is through context.

Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.

I believe AR is going to be the primary platform of the future for both work and entertainment.

As I look forward in things like the Internet of Things, I am sure we will talk about video. There is a lot of disruption going on and a lot of new products being brought to market, products like Go90.

We live in a time of astounding technological advancements. There are deep-sea drones and live-streaming virtual reality.

Who knows what form storytelling will take in the future?

I've always been very fascinated by technology - the Internet, social media.

I'm a big technology individual. I love science and technology, and anything that has to do with capturing events so that they can be experienced later.

Asking Siri where the nearest sushi bar is - that's not interesting. What's interesting is asking your phone where one of your friends have last had dinner in the neighborhood, or having it recommend a cool paella place in Barcelona because it knows you eat paella all the time at home.

I think Google is a great company, and they're doing really cool things. But they're not doing things that are going to put us, I think, into the next generation of technology.
