And of course on a SiliconGraphics workstation there's also a 3D gopher client: GopherVR

@flexion Haha oh man, great. Sadly, Gemini Protocol wasnt successful enough to be the successor of gopher.

@flexion I glanced at the preview thumbnails and thought:"of course - the 3d-file organizer!" But then I read the description text and looked at the full size images and I have to say: 3d gopher - I am still rolling around on the floor, laughing (and some tears might have come out, too)!

I barely left the computer with regular text mode gopher... I would have become a skeleton in front of an SGI.

@flexion O wow, that’s nice. Didn’t Apple have a prototype of some 3D file storage or information ordering interface? Early 2000’s? You could fly through it, IIRC.

@zmac @flexion Right! That’s the one! It’s a pity they didn’t develop this further. I really liked the concept. Sort of like a 3D mindmap.

@flexion I remember GopherVR from when it was first released. So of course it’s packaged on Tribblix.
