It's curious how text based VR seems a lot more compelling than the current
attempts at 2d (that I've seen, and yes, it's Myst).
I've seen people get so into MUDs it's scary.
I'm convinced it's because people want room for their own imagination to
roam and that pre-made graphics can seriously interfere with this. The
current state of VRML is also lacking in stimuli for the active young mind.
So now I'm confused about how movies can be so compelling and CD-Roms kind
of suck. I guess it's because the control of pace and narrative is severely
reduced.
I've finished my little "thinking out loud" thing now.
I'll come back if and when something more solid occurs.
