There's been a lot of talk surrounding the Banshee release over whether there is really a use for 3D in business apps. A while back I mentioned in a post that I'd noticed a review of 3D accelerator cards in a federal government computer tabloid. Its claim was that VRML would be the driver for wanting these cards in a government PC. Today I checked out a VRML demo over on CNN.com. I had to download a helper app to view it. The demo is located at: cnn.com No big shakes. Still it got me thinking. Maybe 3dfx should develop a Glide accelerated VRML viewer that they could bundle with the Banshee. Now I need a good application. How about a Ticketmaster-like site that lets you 'sit' in your seat and check out the view before you buy the ticket? Well I've shot my creativity for a Saturday afternoon. Anybody have any ideas???
