Yes. We may be victims of our own success. There is no way I can tell how much did the WWP contribute to the popularity of interactive panoramas, they are coming closer to the mainstream.
It seems the fate of new techniques may be similar to advances in hi-tech: if it's still in the box, it's experimental; if it's out of the box, it's obsolete.
