Amazing, this is clearly a glimpse into a future of internet content being less like a document and more like a virtual world.

Suggestion: the enter key should focus the chat box (like a FPS game) so you don't have to hit escape then click on it.

You mean the future as imagined by someone from 1995?

I think it's possible that vision is closer to the real future than that sounds at face value. I also initially thought of lawnmower man era breathless predictions for VRML and mockups of the future 3D internet. But this is actually a surprisingly compelling experience. Is it wrong I kind of like that almost everything from the browsing experience of reddit is removed except the titles and the linked content? It's got a pleasing simplicity and the tangible nature of making the internet a physical place is appealing to my primitive brain somehow. Definitely not my new way to browse the web, but surprisingly charming.

Maybe we can get a modern updated VRML spec going.

Yeah I remember trying a demo that was literally trying to do this, just on our Mac Performa 5200 over a 14.4 modem (you had to pre-download the "map"). Even the design is eerily similar.

If this is what internet content is going to be like in the future I'm not looking forward to the future.

The dream of the [late] 90's is alive?

Yeah, looks like project looking glass for the desktop ca. forever ago. The future is here?
