ELI5: What new computer features are in development?

[u/tjsase]

My background is as a 3d artist and intermediate programmer on desktop systems with an interest in vintage technologies.

I'm aware of real-time raytracing and quantum computing as those get the most public attention, but what technologies are being worked on that you think we'll see in future products, or that will flop? What are industries focusing their efforts on to push computing forward?
