I was just thinking about the holodeck/virtual reality topic when a commercial came on for this post-apocalyptic reality show on discovery called "the colony" " So I got to thinking, when the tech is young it will be too expensive for consumer use most likely.. but an awesome way to make a profit out of it would be to have (virtual) reality shows and actually have them be cool. Unlike current reality shows where everything is contrived, you could have a left 4 dead show, a fallout show, or whatever. It would also feel more "real" because you wouldnt have actual cameras interfering with the people on the show, and any camera angle could be used, and since its virtual reality everything could be recorded in code (like a starcraft replay) then camera angles could be setup and then play back the code making for movie quality shots.
