You have full 3D interaction coming from all sides: front, back, left, right, above and below you in stereoscopic view. There is also a number of editors where you can create your own levels. Some of the editors have nice graphic front ends under Windows. See http://www.interplay.com/website/descent2.html http://www.hevanet.com/grimshaw/descent2.htm Actually, there is an exposion of such levels being developed. And using 3D LCD shutter glasses or Head mounted displays the immersion is intense. You could make a level or series of levels slanted toward your own demo. Have an Empowering Day!
