Yeah, if you prescribe to the smoke and mirrors style.
Sometimes the logic or capabilities of technology have to be explained at a cursory level just to provide some grounding.
I made the same mistake as OP thinking I could dazzle my "investors". It was the early days of VR before controllers existed and I built a few peripherals to compensate for an interactive training environment (savings of 2MM travel/training etc).
Demo was a hit, numbers were a hit, they started asking about tech, adoption, viability...I believed in VR but they needed to believe it was going to be real based on more than my enthusiasm.
Shelved only to be revived five years later with someone else running it following a trail that had been clearly blazed by competition. I was happy for them but always wished I had been given a chance to take that shot before the wave hit. I just lacked the credentials and I was never clever enough to be a "baffle with bullshit" person.
Backend people even just to say: "I am the authority and everything said here is possible. I will show you if you are seriously interested in the mechanics"
