hey, seems now stereoscopic 3D is the deal and it's been around for more 
than a century now. :)

some things from fiction spread faster than others.  Another cool thing 
from Minority Report was the way people would move data around, by 
literally dragging the data around, even from one display to another 
first physically dragging it onto some mobile display.  I believe the 
tech for this is already out with smartphones and wifi.  Touch displays 
soon enough will be a reality for desktops as well, so the last part of 
the equation is done.

However, I'd still rather much exchange all this for those roads 
crossing buildings... :)
