I developed browser based Java applets demonstrating products in 3D with full animation and interactivity - these worked really well (better than some modern webgl) for some products (think mobiles and car manufacturers in the mid 00s) but my niche was the bifold door market… illustrating the combinations the products could be manufactured and operated. I got on board with a developer of CAM software and created presentations we could adapt quickly to each company which they loved… think Flash on 3D rendered steroids… just as ever green browsers and active x acceptance became mandatory… “Are you sure you want to…” My lesson was that you never know what big change is around the corner. It felt like hero to
Zero overnight at 23…
