An interface done with a spaceball, data glove, and HMD would be really
cool.  If this had come out a year ago, I might have been able to do it
at school, assuming Croquet could be made to run decently on a 195mhz
R10k (which is a huge if), but I leave in a matter of weeks now, so can
no longer work on that aspect.
