I agree -- it's a great book. Interesting product. One step closer to my holodeck. :P

LOL. That's exactly what Jim would have used it for. As for the product, it made me kind of dizzy. Not sure it would enhance my gaming experience. **shrug**

Yeah, I don't think I will either. But I agree it's nifty tech. I hope they find a better application for it.
