Damn, now all that stands in my way is a few hundred dollars and a drill press. Er, and the ability to actually piece things together successfully *looks wistfully at pieces of failed Van de Graaff machine*
While it's great that this technology is now so much easier to implement in larger companies, manufacturers, etc. ("I see a broad extension of the technology for multiple purposes, including data sharing inside companies and with suppliers. Everyone, everywhere will have access to excellent visualization that has ever-better graphics." ) but what research is being done in terms of the recreational applications for this VR? ie. Holodecks.
