- fix lighting, things look super ugly without better lighting. tv should be emitting glow
- fix scale, things are too big
- add more 80's nostalgia esp. to the back wall a la https://sketchfab.com/models/9583c76fa1b74dafaa0b8912a66613f8
- improve overlay UI including a close/hide button
- improve progressive loading experience and order (load black, then static, then tv model, then room, then emulator, then skybox last)
- map nes controls to vive / oculus touch, and/or experiment with xbox controller
- allow user to choose alternate environment / backgrounds
- allow switching of games from inside of vr using cartridges
