    Wait, pretty sure I saw this demonstrated by a small startup almost 20 years ago.

        Disney also employs badass engineers they call ‘imagineers’. I got contacted by recruiting for that but didn’t have enough personal just for fun creative engineering projects in my portfolio to land it

          Still cool to have been contacted by their recruiters at all for such a neat job! It’s one of the few areas of Disney that actually seems like it would be a blast to work in.

            Until the mouse shows up expecting more results, or like xerox with early computers where they basically had everything figured out but corporate just didn’t get it so they just gave everything to apple

      That one (assuming it’s the same as your memory) was basically just a concave dome and you wore like socks. This seems pretty different.

        The one I remember looked almost exactly like this.

        It was pretty exciting to see, thought for sure it would take 10 years to come to market. That was about 2008 ish.
