Like the late stand of Steve Jobs, if it's slow and drains the battery life of my iPad it's evil.

So when was the last time you needed a 3D data visualisation?

When VR arrives the coming years, hardware accelerated stereoscopic in-browser javascript, html or webgl rendering of 3d infographics, highfidelity/opensim hypergrid clients projects like this will fulfill the promise of VRML and the endeavours of the Web3D consortium. Projects like these will be made to good use, but for now it seems like cool tech in search of an application.

That said, making yet another 3D or 4D version of Conway's life, lightweight minecraft clone or stereoscopic mp3 visualiser in Famo.us would be nice pet project. In the meantime I'll master Ember-Charts and D3.js for the fancy 2D stuff.
