WOW! It's like those sci-fi holograms are actually becoming reality!
Won't it be neat when we can model and see our model hovering on front of
us, in full 3D! That'll be incredible!
Just think... 10 years ago, the Amiga was new, 3D modeling was done by
the Military, and a 68000 was fat. Just imagine the next decade... :)
OK, that ends my philosophical view of things 3D to come... :)
