Default Re: OT: ILM\'s new computer systems

Tactile holodecks will only be developed and practically usable for only large scale planetary industry, and experimental materials development. The quantum energy involved in such a device would cost more than the total output of most stars, and I would assume that such a technological development would be banned between most interstellar governments once it is perfected as a weapon.

Commercially, destroying stars will not be considered a viable option in the long run, and most likely will be a form of experimentation that is shunned and persecuted for its destructive concequences.
