Shit, I'd dedicate an entire (bare) room to this with nothing but a projector. Have all the hardware & speakers hidden, then a nice gamers chair and your controller. In 3D? Total immersion, hahaa.

Knowing Microsoft, you'd get full sensory immersion in a blue screen of death. That could literally push a man over the brink.

It's a nice idea but I'd be perfectly happy with a helmet. In fact, a helmet that would allow me to be in the cockpit of a P-51D flying cover would be my #1 choice for an immersive video experience. Imagine being able to look down below the plane or keep your head on a swivel. Yeah!

Anyway, this thing won't do that.

Nice, I'd like a sweet VR helmet (with killer internal surround speakers), for a nice flight sim. I'm sure they're out there!
