This Is What a Real-Life Holosuite Will Look Like

Hehe, I'm amused.
Not just by the topic, but the people exaggeratingly ticked that it's being made first for work related purposes. Like jumping straight to interactive shoot'em up would be better.
I can picture these becoming the cubicles of the future, much like the cubical was supposed to be the office of the future, except this time with a potentially more positive outcome.
From the outside, rows and rows of black spheres like a nest from some alien movie. Yet, inside each one is a worker, a desk, a chair, and let's say a beach resort.
Seriously, it could help relieve stress at the workplace. Add in motion and touch controls to everything as well as cameras to display a co-worker's office so if you ever want to chat with a friend, get some feedback, or have a virtual nerf war you never really have to leave the workstation.
I'd love to see a house made out of these, honestly. That'd be the coolest house ever. And by these I mean HoloRooms, not the spheres, that'd look kinda silly.

No, it's not a holodeck- it's more like a personal IMAX theater with head-tracking. Still, that's pretty cool in and of itself. Baby steps.
Except it tracks what you're looking at, and the whole thing is one big computer, so your superiors would know exactly how much you're slacking off. Sounds kind of nightmarish to me, honestly. Maybe if you're working for a company that genuinely values creativity over questionable definitions of productivity, it could be good, but otherwise...AdamRBi said:
Either that picture doesn't display the thing at all, or it is nothing like anything holo. Just a big curved telivision. It's not going to have a 3-d effect or anything. I'm not impressed. In my oppinion it's not clever new technology nor an exciting idea. The technology needed for a computer to know your position is over a decade old. A curved telivision is clever design, but not something really special.
To be honest it does sound cool but I'd sooner go for Tony Stark's visual interface computer and AI.
