Spy Geeks Want Holodeck Tech for Intel Analysts

Spy Geeks Want Holodeck Tech for Intel Analysts | Danger Room | Wired.com: "The holodeck: a room that can create an interactive 3-D hologram of just about any environment you can think of. It’s been the dream of Star Trek nerds ever since The Next Generation debuted on TV. Well brace yourself, Trekkies, and try not to soil those Starfleet unitards in glee. The U.S. intelligence community had heard your prayers and is now taking a step towards building its own holographic simulator.
