True 3-D display technology developed by European researchers offers enormous potential for design, education and collaboration. Star Trek's holodeck is a famous science fiction concept. Crew members could walk through the garden of their childhood home, re-enact famous historical events or watch full, 3-D performances of famous plays. It was a rich source of story lines for the Star Trek writers because the holodeck offered so many opportunities to work, rest and play.
