  In the 90s we were also excited about the internet and mobile phones. We had just stopped being excited about neural networks. Things mature at different rates.

  Two things have changed since the 90s: - hardware acceleration is everywhere, we all have an SGI Onyx in our pocket - good positional tracking give us a natural 3D input technique Without those, the tech doesn't work.
