Did you personally experience it? Can you describe how you felt? I'm really interested in the breathing interface - to me, incorporating breathing is what makes it a great idea. I got interested in it and read part of someone's thesis on it and learned they also did a lot of work at Softimage on making the graphics transparent. Also, it's imbued with really interesting, admirable ideas and concepts ( http://www.immersence.com/publications/char/1998-CD-Virtual_Dimension.html ).
