I always thought that it was a little but silly that demo artists in the
past go to the extreme of making a demo that renders itself in real time,
but is interactively indistinguishable from a 'canned' linear movie (eg a
streaming quicktime). It seems to me that the primary benefit of making it
realtime is to allow for interactivity. I hope the lack of interactivity is
a limitation that demo artists in the future will not feel compelled to hold
themselves to. Interactivity will make the rest of the world (not just
programmers) say 'wow' when they experience it. People can only passivley
view quicktimes but they can actively experience shockwave.
