Man stuff I love stuff like this - what a trip. Reminds me a lot of Xerox's mother of all demos (in the same year 1968). These animations/graphics have such a wonderful feel to them that are still compelling and interesting in 2019 =)

What an amazing video.

Are you referring to Doug Engelbart's demo of the Online System (NLS) [1]? He was at SRI at the moment. The things that happened at Xerox after that were inspired by NLS, and build by some of the people that worked on it.
