By the 2020s they'll probably fix that.

Yeah, I meant just a room that can project holograms, none of that fancy stuff from Star Trek like replicated odors, food, and water; environmental controls that can change the temperature of the air to match the program that's running and make it feel like the wind is blowing; force fields that give the characters physical form and give them the proper tactile feel and warmth; force field treadmills that prevent you from walking into the walls while the image projected on the walls is continually reprojected to make it seem like you can walk forever; etc. That fancy stuff will take alot longer, some of it might happen in my lifetime, but most will not unless we manage to master interstellar travel and meet some friendly aliens who give us a leg-up technologically xD
Simple, commerically available holographic rooms are predicted to be available as soon as 2024, though I personally think it might take longer which is why I said 2030's. Sony is already working on one supposedly.
