VRML was one of my early computing interests. I’m actually excited for more ways to share 3D spaces with folks!

In 2000, I was 10 when I downloaded a web page with an applet to walk into a cell. But a VRML player was a whopping 10mb and it would have jammed up the phone line for hours and costed a fortune.

remember even back THEN, they said VR would change how we work. I guess its just a common misconception we keep making

People have been talking about VR changing everything Any Day Now since the early 70s. By the 80s this was a widespread enough thing that it kinda worked its way into Star Trek TNG. Apart from AI (1950s), there is probably no longer-running "technology which will change everything" promise.

this is essentially useless without the powerglove with which to control everything.
