You step in and are instantly surrounded by the sights and sounds of ancient Rome, or Egypt; or, how about the ultimate flight or driving simulator? Exploring ancient historical locations as they were in their prime time or playing the ultimate video game are just some of the things you might be able to do with the virtual-reality 'Cocoon'. Anything you do now on a 2D computer monitor can be greatly enhanced in the cocoon, a totally 3D environment. It all sounds pretty far off, but the 1st prototype may be up and operational as early as October of 2009, and commercially available units by 2014.
