NAU is currently working on the next generation state of the art interface. The immersive cocoon is a human-sized dome with 360 degree display on its interior, allowing you to reach out and ‘grab’ information from all around you, just like some scene in Minority Report. It opens a new door for complex multiplayer online games where you get to fight off enemies who approach from all directions, or even virtual museums or gyms. NAU hopes to complete its prototype Cocoon by October 2009, with models commercially available by 2014. [CNN VIA Upcoming Videogames]
