holodeck
Enterprise's virtual room
A holodeck is a fictional room-sized environment from *Star Trek* that generates interactive three-dimensional simulations, allowing users to walk through and interact with computer-projected worlds.
The term has become shorthand for any immersive virtual reality system: When VR gets good enough, we'll basically have holodecks.
