The Java demo seemed a bit buggy or otherwise flashy. Could be due to my system though. But how is this different from the flopped VRML? Or from SGI's FSV for IRIX 5.3 (as seen in Jurassic Parc)? Those are just 2 of the many examples. There's a lot of research and demos in this area, but not something usable to the masses yet.

To the person who commented about Winamp's AVS (as example): some people actually *like* that though they're not necessarily vieweing that while rethinking some philosophic subject. Personally, i don't mind such aspects and like them every now and then as long as i'm also able to turn it off.

Also, some people just can't stand this kind of interfaces just like some people can't stand FPS because of epileptic or claustrofobic results.
