News articles about the CAVE in our building, back in the mid-1990s, used similar holodeck references.<p>(The enthusiasm has been here for decades. See for example Howard Rheingold's 1992 "Virtual Reality: The Revolutionary Technology of Computer-Generated Artificial Worlds - and How It Promises to Transform Society".)
