Easy to forget how cyclical the web's "New Cool Stuff!" is... This is at least the 2nd cycle of live video. Remember Qik and Livestream?

Surreal to think about the fact streaming live video to the internet was the New Hotness back when I was reporting on Hillary w/it in 2007

And we're in the new generation of Aggregation is The Best! Which is at least the 6th cycle of RSS is Everything/Dead I've personally seen.
-
I mean... lol. RSS readers -> RSS is dead -> Google Reader -> RSS is dead -> Social Media Powered By RSS -> RSS is dead -> Social Readers ->

Social Readers -> RSS is Dead! -> pre-JSON APIs -> RSS is DEAD! -> Instant Articles and Apps

This is even the 3rd cycle for VR. Anyone else remember clunky af ASUS 3D glasses? dansdata.com/vr100.htm

That's was 1999. Before that they tried to make Web VR a few times. Did anyone ever build in VRML? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRML lol

ASUS wanted 3D desktops to be a thing So Badly. They tried again in 2001 dansdata.com/v8200d.htm and again in 2009 pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2356571,00.asp
-
Yeah, that's a laptop intended to be used with 3D glasses.

And don't forget 2010's Bumptop, 3D-ish, VR-like, the future of touch screens and than it ended up abandonware en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BumpTop

BTW, I totally owned one of those pairs of funky ASUS glasses, got it with dansdata.com/v8200d.htm. I never got it to work. Not once.
