Magic Cap and General Magic was 5-7 years too early (or rather ahead of it's time).....the current robust infrastructure of the web and email was then a little too "young" for widespread, public adoption on pricey mobile devices. Also, the GUI was a little too gimmicky..... too many animations and too many options likely compromised processor performance, screen size and layout.... but the idea was on fire !! .....follow up versions of market-tested devices would have more fully validated the concept..... sigh.....
5.07 - "out on the cloud" - *the cloud*! In 1994!
That caught my ear, as well!
@@DanDuett me too, wow 1994
Gosh. From all the channels on youtube, this one is the most interesting and should be treasured. Thank you very very much Greg.
I always wanted to know more about Magic Cap. Stunning. What a shame it never gained traction.
Very very cool demo Andy! Thank you!!
Wow… the onscreen keyboard looks like on iOS! So ahead of it's time! Great work°
Andy, please, upload more videos like this.
Andy's on RUclips, awesome. GREAT FAN HERE
So... Andy, how come at 03:40 you're left handed then right handed in close up? A little presentation magic..? ;-)
So advanced for 1994 the predecessor to IOS devices imagine if this had taken off how advanced would smartphones be right now
