This might have been brought up before but I don't remember very well.
I went and saw The Lawnmower Man the other day and it caused me to
stop and think about the holodisplays in Traveller.

How much of a virtual reality system is a holodisplay? I know it is
customizable but that refers to  personal preferences in regards to
layout if I'm not mistaken.

Is there a capability as in Star Trek TNG for holodecks? Whole rooms
used as virtual reality systems.

When Traveller was created there wasn't much talk about virtual
reality systems but now it's quite the topic. Even the military is
getting involved in it. I remember coming across something where the
Army has recreated a battle from the Desert Strom action. Using a
warehouse like a holodeck where every detail is taken into account.

How does this fit into Traveller? Any Comments?
