May be I should have a go!

Reckon so. Anyone who has watched my Hunt for Red Hot Coders film will know that my acting abilities aren't up to it:rotfl:
I know what you mean with 3D stuff and VR. I've got a set of those edimensional glasses, and Track-IR too, and while the 3D glasses is an astonishing effect, it's not in the least bit practical for playing a sim, as for one thing, you cannot see the keyboard to press the buttons! so they are gathering dust. Track-IR I use all the time in sims though, that's great, although not so hot for FPS games (ARMA supports it, and it is a bit wierd to say the least, although it does let you run around whilst looking about, which is quite freaky).
I must admit when you get in the DC-3 cockpit in Flight Simulator, is does look like the throttle quadrant and control yoke are actually items some distance away from you with the edimensional glasses (albeit looking a little like a pop-up book), but there is no feeling of depth of field when looking 'through' the window at the terrain. A multiple monitor set up with a fresnel lens does achieve that effect though, but of course that aint much use for a sub sim.
We are a long way from the 'holodeck' although perhaps not so far as we think, I do know LG reckon they are less than ten years away from producing a holographic TV. Mmmm, that'll be cheap...
