Yes indeed. 3D has been in 'experimentation' for quite some time, but it has finally come out of beta. Also, nVidia 3D vision hardware support is a feature! It sounds like your websocket APIs were a bit confusing to use, which is unfortunate. Websockets are plain ol TCP connections over port 80 (AFAIK) with a special handshake and some multiplexing to share the port with other requests! This makes it non-trivial from a TCP standpoint, but hopefully better APIs come about that make using it easier. I would also assume that the very web-server would have to be upgraded to embody this type of functionality. It seems I was right... Here's a page on Apache.org talking about a module offering web-socket support in their server: http://activemq.apache.org/websockets.html Web sockets are a very novel technology, with some pretty major implications to client-server communication. Like all new technologies they will be a bit awkward to use at first, but once you are comfortable with the tools, they will be an extension of your tool set.
