Kind of nitpicky, but is there actually any correlation between introversion and public speaking anxiety? I'm pretty introverted, but don't have much difficulty with public speaking or job interviews or whatever. For me, introvers

Would seem that at least particles, sprites, 2D layers, collisions, and dynamic textures are not in three.js. There's also mesh hierarchies, animations, and mirrors in Babylon.js, which I'm not sure if three.js supports those as f

Why does the site not show images until you almost scroll past them? What an awful UX.

I actually think they're OK for promotional purposes like this, although I'd prefer to see the arrow buttons bigger to call attention to them, and then it should not auto-switch. Also the switching animation should be snappier -

Not a fan. If the user wished to interact with it, you can't advance/rewind slides manually, so it's annoying. If the user doesn't wish to interact with it, it's still moving and distracting and wasting space, so it

Nit: isn't "first-ever" kind of redundant, since " now possible" necessarily implies it wasn't possible before?
