Autosophy, from what I could gather from this page:

  http://www.autosophy.com/videcomp.htm

is nothing new. VNC has been using a similar technique
for years now. I hope a patent wasn't granted for Autosophy,
as VNC is clearly prior art.

I meant more along the lines of fully immersive, which meant to
include force-feedback but closer to complete sensory simulation.

We all know that there are only two real capitalist driving
forces in the economy today: war and porn. I'm waiting for
the time when the two become mixed -- a bunch of porn superstars
committing terrorist acts causing a war-scale military conflict.
