    Thanks, Mark, very kind words. Glad your students were impressed – and I hope they start thinking of new apps, and developing them; the PC didn’t first get shipped with spreadsheet software, someone had to come up with that killer app.

    I agree on the promise of holographic computing. In fact, the real promise is without the headset. A headset/glasses, or any separate device, will only be necessary for a decade or so. Within two decades we’ll have such cheap/easy projection that it will be embedded in all sorts of things/places (all walls, rooms, exterior scenarios), so that there won’t be the inward-focusing barrier that you right point to in today’s technology. Virtual reality will bathe us just as electric light does now…

    Zen,
    .
    When I saw the Holographic Computing video, the first thing I thought of was Ender’s Game–sort of tracks with your comments above.
