If the laser project works then there is gonna need to be a new sound
system done to support total surround sound..

It would also be cool to change things around so that tempest was like
the original where the tube spun. You could get seriously sick.. :)

I had a friend that worked at Evans & Sutherland -- she showed me what
some of the cool total immersion simulators could do -- they can make you
sick instantly.. I dreamed of running tempest and asteroids on their
supervector genenerator that they used for planetariums.. It would have
worked -- just the hardware cost was >500k.. *sigh*
