This + omni-directional treadmill + multiple projectors = HOLODECK!!!!!!!!! (almost).

its a nice concept, some of it worked better than other bits (i liked the bit to make it look like it was snowing in particular)

tho would it be a bit distracting? i could imagine depending what you had in the room would be distorting to the images (meaning your attention keeps being taken away from the screen) etc etc

will be interesting to see where this leads

Maybe, but I could easily see people now devoting whole rooms to this. So there's nothing but a blank wall around the TV.

I really like this for the potential to add peripheral vision to games, something which even multi-monitor-uber-wide-screen can't really give you.

It's construction was epic. The play more so. I even liked the notion that you actually got shot.
