This is the desk space where I spend a major part of my day. Most of the surrounding desks are unoccupied. That means it can get kind of lonely, but it's good because I get a lot more done this way. The machine has a bad case of Linux, but I've been able to neutralize most of the adverse symptoms, and I like working on it now. The major breakthrough came when I learned how to change window managers. Now my desktop looks good, I can easily access all the programs I need to use, and life is happy.
Behind my workstation is this 3D capture suit area. Note the array of cameras on the ceiling. They can tell the computer where you are and in what pose. Put that together with the head-mounted display and you can live in a virtual world. The computer fiddles with the display so that in order for it to looking like you're walking in a straight line, you actually have to walk in circles. I'm not actually part of this research, but I'm looking into it.
