I was amazed to see this new technology on G4tv that included Green
screen in game technology. What this made possible was that In game you
could be in a car...and actually See Actual People that were Filmed
around you. In one Game presenting this technology , Your in a race car
, and some Woman comes over to the car to wish you luck on the race. it
was like controlling part of a movie.
you can't get more photo realistic than actual film.
They said making games this way costs alot more and will be making
retail games more expensive.

I used to laugh my hole off in the early 90's when VR was the big thing and
thick newsreaders were struggling to explain it to your dad. I used to go in
an arcade that had one of them Virtuality rigs, the whole shebang would have
done so much better if all the graphics didn't look like a ten-year-old
Spectrum game. Then the World Wide Web happened.

True but I could well imagine how much fun it could be to "walk"
out onto a ledge or a metal catwalk overlooking say a big military
base and you can actually see in perspective all the trucks, troops,
and so forth and really have a sense of "being there" as opposed
to the flat 2D kind of thing a screen gives you. Alternatively if they
could create a "wrap around" screen I'm sure that kind of thing would
work too, well for the most part.

I'm not afraid of heights or anything like that so I'd probably have a ball
