Is Star Trek’s “Holodeck” About To Become A Reality?

The C6 virtual reality room, invented by a team of scientists at Iowa State University, has been upgraded to become the world’s most realistic virtual space. It now has enhanced resolution and an improved audio system that immerses the user in extremely realistic landscapes in a box no bigger than 10-foot by 10-foot cubed. Although it is currently destined for scientific and military applications, could this be the first step towards totally three-dimensional gaming? Just imagine such a device installed in your living room!
