Wow. Really amazing. (although in places it changed screens a bit fast and I had to rewind to read the full text.)

Thanks. Yeah, that's tricky. Others have said it lingers too long on text. I guess I should do something about the slides that have a lot more text than the others, but there's a lot to say. :) Aha; whenever there's more than a few seconds of text I should put some meaningful animated graphics demo in the background, taking more than enough time for reading.

Very cool stuff! Next time I'm in Amsterdam (or you are in Berlin), I really need to try one of your VR headsets! :)

Thanks! Yes, and hopefully I'll get a good six-degrees-of-freedom headset sometime soon.

thanks again,

I expect this is a hard thing to to get right.

I also found that the workspaces were going by too quickly for me to read and digest the first time. My reaction was to replay the video a few times, stopping to read the workspaces. That is a lot different from my usual reaction to on-line videos, which is to get bored part way through the video, and never watch the rest.

If your intention was to hook my interest and get me to look and think twice, then it worked.

That was my feeling as well. I hate the long-winded explanatory videos that are common nowadays. I much prefer reading at my own pace. This video was not boring, and I think that has to do a lot with the quick pacing.
