OT: This makes me wish the Escapist was older, so I could be reading well-written, well thought out articles from 1993 about how RPGs are about to die and adventure games are the future.

Funny. This mentions seeReal, but fails to mention their prototype holographic displays, which, on paper at least, are way cooler than their autostereoscopic displays.
But... Yeah, we have a long way to go yet.
Although, mentioning ARquake, I suspect you can create your own implementation for a modest budget of $1000-2000 if you make use of a laptop, cheap GPS tranciever, and cheap VR glasses (Vusix comes to mind; They even have AR variants of their glasses, and some models have 6 axis head tracking as well.
Add in a few wii-remotes or similar... Well, cheap it isn't, but the costs are low enough to be managable to anyone that can afford to put together a high end gaming PC.)

Volumetric 3D - Best 3D.
