Just because someone tried something in the past and did not succeed does not mean there's no merit to the idea, and that others won't succeed in making such a thing a reality. There are many reasons why VR didn't go anywhere the first time around, and computing as a platform has evolved a lot since then. Let's not fall into the trap of shooting down ideas just because someone else previously failed to execute on the vision in the past, and instead focus on how to accomplish what we're all setting out to do today. -- James Baicoianu Principal Engineer, JanusVR
