Battleship and Bubble Head

Have these things been done?

#------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea 1:
               screens back to back
                  with cameras

                      ||

(Person1) O         =>||<=      O (Person2)
          --          ||       --
         /\                     /\ 

          * Put two screens back to back on a table
          * Have two people sit across from each other

          * Track eyes
          * Look at each other digitally with correct perspective
          * Good for games like Battleship (morph other person)
          * Views can be switched so you see yourself how other
            person sees you... with eye to eye contact


#------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea2:
           
             |
          O  |o 
          ---/  stick arm through screen and "see" hand on other side
          |  |          
         /\  |
        /  \
 
          * There's open holes to stick hands in
          * Good for remote surgery
       

#------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea3: Bubble Head
     
       ---
      / O \
      \ - /
       ~~~

    * Make a large helmet filled with screens 
      that take live camera views of outside
    * Use eye vector to project camera views
    * It's just vr with giant screen
    * Bubble Head II will have spherically shaped screen
    * One use, put person on air bearing table, change
      camera view to space and do SAFER training

#------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea4: Digital Mirror


                |
          O     |>= (hidden camera(s) that tracks eye and projects 
          --    |    self image (with unlimited morphs) back
          |     |    at person)
         /\    
        /  \


#------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea5: Digital Window

                |
          O     | Live view of Paris from Eiffel Tower
          --    |
          |     |
         /\    
        /  \
     
       * Eiffel tower view will need multiple camera view/streams for
         making eye vector real (or remote eye that 
         moves as you move... but not practical for multiple people)
       * Useful for "opening up" spaces with limited windows :)
       * Useful for security views since you can kinda look 
         inside and around
