This page was proposed for deletion by Piotrus (talk · contribs) on 22 October 2018 with the comment:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) requirement.
It was contested by Djm-leighpark (talk · contribs) on 2018-10-25 with the comment:
Seeing quite a number of hits so good probability of passing WP:GNG. Appreciate many will be non-independent but those giving mocking criticism will almost certainly swing it. This may be sense of how to get better by not getting things right

FWIW[edit]

I saw demos & discussions of such things at IBM in the early 1990's when one IBM R&D group wanted to build a 3D interface for OS/2. I've got to believe that RealThings were the remnants of that project ... linas (talk) 02:47, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interface Hall of Shame[edit]

The RealThings were also soundly mocked at the time. This article is incomplete without a note on how awful the slavishly skeuomorphic interface design actually turned out to be. (I'll let someone with more tact and less bias add it, though.) --74.212.139.166 (talk) 05:58, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
