Love this. Was much better than I expected since you also showed other users, what they were looking at, and let us have personalities like looking at each other and nodding yes/no which kept cracking me up. A few people were at the Game of Thrones Cosplay submission (an image of two cute women in costumes) looking at each other and nodding. Some people formed a conga line. It's easy to imagine stopping this project…

the multiplayer aspect was pretty neat. another way of engaging with people

You mean the future as imagined by someone from 1995?

Maybe we can get a modern updated VRML spec going.

We definitely should, although probably from a completely different perspective than ‘94: High end phones can capture in 3D, so we should be able to store and view 3D images properly.

I’m starting with the idea of PNGs where the channels represent RGBZ instead of RGBA, but obviously we need more than 8 bits of depth information, and we are starting to get and care about high dynamic range for RGB data as well… would 16R:16G:16B:16Z work?

There’s also the point that depth information will have sharp boundaries, and it will probably be much worse for RGB information to blur over such a boundary as compared with the equivalent parts of a flat JPEG.

This is rad! Is there an existing way to show adult content? Looks like the backend needs to click "I'm over 18" button.

Do you filter NSFW stuff by default?

Why would you want that?

I clicked on the link at work and had an embarrassing moment as sexy Game of Thrones cosplay popped up for my boss.

Despite being a 3d app, it doesn't make my laptop fans spinning fast like the current js-heavy Reddit web app. Kudos :)

I've been on the internet since 1994. I hate to tell you this but in 25 years it hasn't gotten any better- just louder.

If you ask me, the root cause is simple: the internet is merely a reflection of our society. And we are awful, generally speaking.

Love it. I propose a 'fire' keybinding to downvote, like Doom process management.
