Several months ago I was describing what the real key to what
VR/VW is to an executive in my company.  The essence as I 
tried to convey what many of the ideas are in VR/VW that are 
slowly becoming a separate discipline is that the human/machine
interface is becoming the true bottleneck and needs enhancement
beyond the keyboard/CRT interface of the last 15 years.  More
than just two-dimensional video and telephone quality sound is
needed.  All five senses may be involved.  The term I coined was

         BANDWIDTH TO THE BRAIN
