I don't see how ROS solves 'a real need for a platform-agnostic application layer above the native OS.' It's not platform agnostic (works best with Ubuntu Linux) and is hardly a layer above the native OS, just applicatio

For the VFX industry, the tracking had already been solved for ages, with those reflective little balls on suits etc. in a mocap system. The Wii sensor bar's thing was that it was really cheap. But yes, damn close to a holodeck. But
