I always wanted something like this to generate terrain for FPS shooting game. So size of this would be lets say 2mx2m and it would be able to create walls on which I could lean to. And of course in combination with Oculus Rift. Of course when I walk in some direction this terrain would have to move in other way so I'm always in middle...
