The funny thing is, it's not *that* hard...

Ever read Rudy Rucker's "Hacker and the Ants"?  I liked the "cheap" version 
of the 3D interfaces:

A 3D screen, with glasses.  Several inches off the desk so you reach under 
and behind it.  Gloves that track where your hands are so the computer can 
draw them on the screen where your hands really are. Peizo buzzers in the 
fingertips and palms so you can tell when you're squeezing something. A 
barstool where the footrest ring will turn when you kick it, signaling to 
the computer as if you're spinning in your seat so the computer can draw 
from a different angle.

Sounded *totally* doable.
