In a form currently used, the host and the human interface via VR.
This is possible but not yet feasible for the home PC addict.
As yet, the IA (Intel Arch.) is incapable of moving data at a useful rate.
Virtually all VR systems use a Unix variant.
NASA, armed forces and other likes use such systems for training.
VR for the "home" was introduced about 3 years ago through SGI.
Starting prices were in the $500,000.00 range and this was a minimal system.
