These box screens are real it's called The Cave, I've seen one in person and it's actually a very convincing 3D effect with the tracking and they render it for your perspective
for a single user, unless used with polarizing shutter glasses, then subtract 50% brightness.
it's an interesting use of the tech but having worked with both this, projection based AR (think early castAR/tilt5) and vr for the last decade, I gotta say, it's use cases are slim compared to the results you'd get with other stuff. Apparently oil companies LOVED it, it was very popular in geological survey and similar industries.

It may be environmentally less damaging compared to many forms of tourism.

Someday in future we'll be in that state
I wonder if there is an AI Lorax.
