Wow, what in interesting idea and brilliant use of 3d/VR. I hope it works out as they hope.

As an aside, I must confess the thread title made me think that people with stress (like people from offices and the like) were going to be dumped into a war zone and told to stop whining about the queue at the photocopier or something.

+1, and it's obviously far more advanced now, but it did remind me of the woman who was part of one of the early trials for a VR company - she came out of the program, removed her headset and went into the monitoring room that was designed like a living room but with a fridge etc. She poured herself a glass of fresh orange juice. Then poured it directly into her eye :shock: :oops:

I'd love to chase some of my colleagues around with a machine gun :twisted:
