Yes. We'll need an automagical matrix bus transport infrastructure.

Pale human maggots, limply wriggling in their stuffy dens, catered to by
briskly crawling insectoid nannybots.

This is not holography. Holography refers to a certain physical principle
used to generate images. Interference patterns, recorded in some
susceptible medium, regenerate the interference produced scenery if
illuminated by a suitable light source. Modulate the patterns (strong
nanotech required) accordingly: voila, your interactive hologram of
of choice hovers in front of you.

2) This would render your eye useless (I'd like to see a solid state
camera, which is superior to the human eye (cum retina)). An adult can't
learn to interpret implant input (though this might be induced chemically,
albeit heavily artefacting your personality structure), while babies
probably could.

Yes. This is the reason I mentioned glamour, which was a magickal device
used by Irish faeries and Skandinavian trolls. Their native environments
was mildly (or strongly) repulsive, they enchanted their senses, and
senses of their victims/visitors (which was sometimes the same).
Au.R. GUI designers should look into R. Zelazny novels, particularly those
depicting technical aspects of magick. Much can be learned there.

Pencil pusher-->mouse pusher.
Six degrees of freedom. A cursor with a Difference: it floats in front of
you (ideally steered by eye tracker, or, even better, by myopotential
headband/implant microelectrode array generated output), allowing you to
intuitively maniplate Au.R. stuff. Will be first used for, and perfected
on, the bodily disabled.
