Was it?
I feel like someday someone is going to say something like "Man our VR world syncing protocol is really heavy, and we end up needing AGI-level LOD prediction to do it well, but compressing 360 degree light fields is wasteful and leads to latency artifacts... what if there was a protocol that allowed realities to render display-space fields directly to remote devices, but do the final compositing on the client?" and then someone will discover the X protocol, re-implement it with 3D SDFs instead of 2D rectangles, and all of the sudden X will be the new hot thing.
- pas 9y agoSure, then let's do that. I mean X as a client server visual/graphical terminal solution is pretty amazing. But then it took more than a decade to get to the point where it seems that DRI extension is just not going to cut it. And all the other built-in un-security has to go too.
