Interactive informations seem to be a dud in the United States.
Several years ago there were these information service kiosks all
over the San Francisco area, but they have mostly disappeared.
The user interface left much to be desired-- slow, and deep menu
hierachies.  I'm skeptical about the commericial potential of VR
in information services.
