Great insight! I especially liked the description of scaling factors and how they a codependent on one another requiring a more nuanced program design.

Unity is awesome, we did a unity simulation of Challenger Deep where the user could fly through the canyon using an Oculus Rift for one implementation and similar code for an Android tablet implementation.
