Ah, but the holoband is even BETTER than the holodeck because you can use it ANYWHERE. The series opens with Zoe, the main character, holobanding in her school bathroom.
Seriously, stick an IV in me, have someone come over a few times a day to turn me for bedsores, and then just leave me and Jensen the eff alone.
Funny you should mention the Japanese -- I was talking about this whole holoband thing with a friend at work and she mentioned that some Japanese guy just "married" his girlfriend...who's a virtual avatar. If holobands or holodecks ever existed, forget about it. There is nothing about real life that could possibly compete.
