CAVE virtual reality[1][2] has been available for quite some time, and has quite a lot of industry penetration. There are multiple off-the-shelf software and hardware packages available, and it's fairly commonly used in the automotive industry. It's quite something to use one of these systems, I was responsible for maintaining one a few years ago. Our demonstration trick for visiting guests was to put a chair inside the cave that matched the coordiantes of a virtual helicopter cockpit command chair. We could sit guests in the chair, turn the system on, and ask them if they could comfortably reach the switches above their heads. They'd stretch out their hands and be able to give a confident yes or no within seconds. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_automatic_virtual_environ...
