Believe it or not, this kind of use interface already exists. Check out the NASA virtual environment work (reference: Scientific American, October, 1987). Also check out Myron Krueger's work at the U. of Conn. (reference: "Artificial Reality", Addison-Wesley, 1983). For the latest and greatest user interface work, go to the CHI'88 conference in Washington, DC this month. Great stuff. Proceedings of past conferences are available from the ACM.
