I just thought of some cool shit you could do with this thing:

Project the scenery on it. You walk in, and are looking at downtown Paris or some place.
Project a speeding car coming right for you at like 100mph. Now, with nifty camera work, you could freak people out. Especially if you time it right.

Picture:

You're sitting there jabbering away at some people in Paris, you get used to the surroundings. I mean, it's fully enclosed, they even map the sky and ground to it. For all visual intents and purposes, you are in Paris. People are sitting around you, you've got a table and are sipping a drink.

Suddenly, from around the corner, a car comes flying along, straight for you. People you've been conversing with are freaking the hell out, jumping out of the way.

It's coming right at you.

One of a few things happen:
1) You shit yourself because you can't get out of the way in time.
2) You run and dive out of the way and nail an invisible wall, since after all, you're enclosed in a box.

Think of the fun you could have.

Seriously, the people you're talking to could just as well be sitting looking at monitors. They don't have to be even there. Hell, they don't even have to be in Paris. It could all be done digitally.

The truck that comes flying along could even be done digitally.

Think of the pranks you could pull!

Really though, if you were immersed in this box where it fully in all 360* x 360* of vision (degrees of a sphere), with sky and floor mapped also, you could really forget you were in a box. So you could have a lot of fun with it. And not just by running people over. Heh.
