Welcome to the future! Throught the magic of Virtual Reality, we can now transform your boring 2D slides into perspective-mapped boring 2D slides [1]! Incredible! /s

Welcome to the future, indeed! Where we do simple things in the most complicated way possible.

No more boring screen wipe, dissolve, or fade transitions from one slide to another... Now we have tumbling 3D transitions that induce vomiting to show our bullet-points and walls-of-text.

Steve Jobs was right when he said Powerpoint slides were for people who don't know what they're doing.


So basically the VRML demos are back.


Yes, of course, but it's IN THE CLOUD, don't you see?

I'm waiting for 10 years from now when we rediscover the ability to write native applications in one language that run on the local OS & processor. No doubt it will be promoted as a magical cure-all elixir.


Thank you! I've fished around a bit without success.
