Is this just for environments? Or is it a "real" holodeck, i.e. interacting with characters?

Actually, CAVEs have been around for a while now. I visited the ones at the University of Illinois in Champaign, and they are pretty neat.

They are used for everything from looking at tumors, proteins, and outer space to playing a 3D version of Doom.
