There is a Multimedia team under Editing, and it includes Mark Holmquist of the former Multimedia team as to lead engineer. The teams roadmap is in the works, but 3D is something that's been coming up a lot lately, so the team should be able to at least make some plans around figuring it out pretty soon.

Im told the multimedia team got undisbanded and now is part of editing department.
People have been talking about vr for a long time. I think there is more pressing concerns (e.g. video). I suspect VR will stay in the video game realm or gimmick realm for a while yet

As a part of the engineering reorganization, will there be a multimedia team within the readeship or power users groups? For some time I have
