The Holotron is very likely the only feasible device, with several possible realisations (for life-like control of any humanoid avatar) including implanted brain-computer interfaces. The full-body version will eventually become like the Holodeck and Beaming from Star Trek. It can used to remotely operate a humanoid robot as if it is your own body. VR becomes like reality and remote locations are accessible instantly without travel. The video demonstrates - low latency, bilateral force- and balance feedback for walking in VR, - feeling the momentum and mass movable objects, - walking over slipping blocks with the interplay of stiction and friction, - challenging operation even at low frame rates (50 fps) on a slow 2012 CPU, - robust control during sudden force and speed changes, - operation at 1/20 of earth gravity, - robust con
