Wired: hex

Discovered on pages 72 – 83:

  • article on the birth of computer generated imagery in films which pays special attention to work on Jurassic Park and its divide between digital dinosaurs and analog automobile models
  • the Sega AS-1, a high end simulation contraption intended for arcades and amusement parks that featured virtual worlds designed by Douglas Trumbull
  • Morph’s Outpost on the Digital Frontier, a hacker/programmer magazine featuring a schlubby looking Bart Simpson style mascot
  • Monster Cables were being sold for the newly minted THX gear of 1993.  Wired thought they were a rip-off then, too
