Holodeck Approaching

Post by Sonic Glitch »

So apparently at CES this year Microsoft unveiled a gaming projection system that seems remarkably close (or as close as we can get right now at least) to a holodeck.

I hope they make the safety protocols impossible to turn off.

And if it works at all well I guarantee you'll get gamers setting up rooms to make it work.

Surely it will be 2D if it's only using projectors
