According to rumours, in the next version you'll be also able to touch things a la TNG with forcefields
Spoiler: show
Well, not really, but one can always dream... :love: :orion: :twistedlaugh:

I like this holodeck more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrgWH1KUDt4
or check Mr.Beam's room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCb8f7gz0Ys
there are lots of this, it's no new technology, they just do the usual 2D beamer projection but take the room's shape and objects into account to apply 3D scenery.
Have not seen it in real yet, and view position surely is critical on this, but in a light room that gives some real cool immersive view. :grin:
