Just you wait until we get the holographic projection systems that have
been "just around the corner" for the last 40 years...

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... :)

Well, sure. I was just saying when this sort of thing takes over for (say) a
normal VR interface. Obviously making it easier to control passively is not
the point of a game based on a motion sensor.

In Rucker's books, for example, one makes a fist and points the direction
one wants to travel. Not really hard to do.

Nicole can't. I forgot to ask anyone else...
Still, Laura & Melissa can do Rock Around the Clock and end up at the
other end of the dance hall. Not forgetting passing through every point
in space before reaching there. (Isn't that what relativity predicts?)

Win.

I think it's quantum mechanics.

I know I've seen Laura go out the door on the left, and five minutes
later go out the door on the left again. I think it might be quantum
tunnelling...

No, that's a sign that they are making changes in the Matrix.
