Hmm. Now I'm curious if you could actually get a 3d interface with all that information dynamically rendered running with reasonable performance on period accurate personal hardware - it's definitely in the scope of the 95 demo scene stuff.

This is a nice website, with an interesting purpose. Though i suppose reviewing sci-Fi movies notions of interfaces will soon clash with the dryness of reality.

The 90's were wild in that sense, you could imagine that the internet superhighway would be a superhighway you could literally drive on with your Avatar, and countless movies and tv-series presented things thus.

The noughties were way more grounded in reality, even the Matrix had Trinity hacking into a server using a OpenSSH exploit on a black and white terminal.

This is the vision of the cybersecurity company i'm working for, to render information systems in a 3d interface. It works fine on mid-range hardware and can render assets (hardware and linked users) in the thousands, for more you'd have to segment your interface in secondary instances.

It's mainly for SecOps team tho, can't go full matrix yet on your home network.
