Pretty much the idea. I'm also thinking of the power the DM would have in the world. Changing your surroundings, background music, popping up 3D models of monsters and NPCs to speak with you, there is just so much of an experience that DMs love to share with their players that I believe the Rift can help solve.

I think this is a great idea but there are some pitfalls. Games like neverwinter nights are direct adaptations of pen and paper rule sets, but the experience is not even close to being the same. The experience in neverwinter nights is limited to the objects,location and actions programmed into the game. In a pen and paper game the experience is limited only to the imagination. To put it another way, the more visual cues you give the player, the less it becomes a game of the imagination.
I think that a virtual tabletop is a great idea, but room for the imagination is the most important thing to consider when playing DnD. The challenge is then to create a framework that facilitates Roleplaying without removing the freedoms of an imaginary world.
