Volumetric Windows Update
I want to add some function to the Volumetric Window article, and need approval for the last paragraph in the article which I've added and reposted here for review. It includes no new technology or technological changes -- just a new application of the existing components.

Volumetric Windows also have the ability to act as interactive monitors. One can use such a display in their quarters not only as a window, but as a computer-controlled big screen volumetric television or computer monitor to add a large degree of comfort or working capability. The two-way ability of the screen to "look back" at the user allows for it to detect finger and hand motions of the user and emulate a tactile interface, like a mid-air keyboard or the ability to use a finger as a cursor. They can be used in briefing rooms as well to act as visual aids for detailing a mission (usually built into the walls or table), as a form of teleconferencing or webcam/video chat, and even allow the Commanding officer or those she permits access to view through any volumetric window aboard the ship as a security option; with or without sending her image to the party being observed. Of course, some officers tend to use this 'ship peek' ability for more recreational ends...
