At the very best, it would look as if the performers were behind a
window.

Even in 3D?


Until they find a way to project a 3D image onto thin air, yes.

The closest I've heard about is a decent headmounted VR set. The new
Rizzo? is reckoned to be close enough for training emergency service
operatives, but that gets its input from a CGI generator, not cameras.


No, definitely not head mounted. Can you see how UNreal a head mounted set
would be, as compared to a 3D life-sized image in front of you that stays in
one place?

The trick with the Rizzo is that it compensates for your head movements,
so you can look round the room as if you were there.

Sorry, it's actually called the Oculus Rift.
