It is going to revolutionize education. Why would children watch a slideshow about ancient Egypt when they can walk in a digital recreation made by brilliant artists/game designers who worked with leading historians, archeologists, etc. I'll warrant that experiencing things "first hand" will make people learn faster/better.

What's essential about your argument is the spending money on something nice, not the 3D element. We can do that today, and do with IMAX. I think making it first person will fail to work exactly the same way "edutainment" has always failed, and the 3D part is completely incidental.
