The result of a generation of engineers who grew up watching Star Trek. I like it.

It's pretty cool. At first I wondered if it was kind of "demoscene".

Slightly off-topic, but I've been wracking my brain trying to remember a software package that came out a few years ago that has a virtual 3-D GUI where you kind of "fly" around this environment setting up modules and the graphics show this lines flowing through space with LFO's spiraling around (showing X/Y movement along a timeline). It was mesmerizing. Can't remember what it was called.

Found it. It was called AudioGL. No updates in 3 years, so perhaps its abandonware, perhaps it is just what it is.

Here's a vid. If you want to skip the programming stuff, jump to 10:55 and just see the thing go. It's still pretty stunning. But, yea, still a little off-topic. Sorry about that.

Yes, it's definitely abandonware. I've scoured the web for a while, only to find pissed off Mac users who apparently bought a non-existent product to rumors of the developer's possible demise (someone is still maintaining the domain, so go figure). I just don't understand why products like these aren't released in the public domain. I guess that's one for the lawyers.

If it was released into the public domain, or if a group of developers took it on; and made it donation-ware, I would imagine folks who relate to that type of environment would have been excited to support it. I don't remember if this was ever put up as a kickstarter. IIRC, the developer did say that if he didn't get enough interest, he wouldn't be able to sustain the project. Still, the Mac users should have gotten a refund.

I dug into the AudioGL forums and found the last developer post from April 2014, saying he was nearly finished with the Mac OS port. Looks like a windows release is there but I don't know what kind of state it is in.

Kinda like Star Wars meets Tron meets Minority Report.

I had the Holodeck in mind.

Yep.
