Google has a Holodeck

At Google’s campus in Mountain View, CA, they have a room called the "Holodeck." Now before you put on your Starfleet uniform and head over there with the Kobayashi Maru answer in mind, pay attention: it’s a circular demonstration of StreetView with rotating locations showing all angles around you. Sorry to disappoint.

The StreetView simulator is designed for an audience of one. It’s a small circular room with a chair in the middle, with images from the Mountain View area constantly being projected. Grab a seat, and you can watch yourself drive virtually through the area, in all directions.
