Voxels, pretty much? Like minecraft, but 10 or 1,000 or 1,000,000 times smaller than the objects/characters in the world. It might look pretty blocky at lower resolutions, but considering the enduring appeal of "pixel art" (and minecraft's success too), it's kinda surprising it hasn't been done yet. i.e. a voxel physics world at a similar resolution to old 8-bit games (for example, 8x8x8 voxel characters). If voxel physics can be done largely locally (with long-range effects being a slow ripple), it could be a killer app for massively multicore devices.
