I was most enthused with the the control, navigation, maneuvering, manipulating ~ but I didn't wait around long enough to don the gloves, myself. The system froze a couple times while I was in there, and required reboots (of-sorts), and there were a number of other people waiting for a turn. The concept is great, and, actually, I think their execution of space navigation and object manipulation was excellent -- (don't know how much of that was home-grown.) However, the information component wasn't being delivered effectively, and, absent of that, anyone looking to be dazzled by pure beauty would've been slightly disappointed.
