You're entire description sounds vaguely similiar to Neil
Stephensons "Diamond Age", or rather, one of the concepts that it puts
forth. Forgive me, for I don't remember specifics, but the protaganist is
at one point taken to a ship with a group of people. This ship is
designed to provide entertainment, interactively, to it's customers. Each
individual may or may not get a role in the "plots" of the night (for
depending on who and where you are, you may or may not have a plot, or
plots), and even more, they may or may not know whether they are part of
the experience, or just a spectator. It combines both virtual reality and
augmented reality to create an atmosphere of any style or make, and of
course this aids in the entire personal experience for the individual,
making everyones experience different.
