Some of the earliest Pixar animations (1988-89)
Televoid 1998 cgi on DVD

Edit: It seems like what Pioneer was doing at the time was an idea that occurred in different parts of Cable Television (and not just Pioneer Laserdisc, though they or Magnavox did attempt to incorporate Laserdisc into a videogame console, incorporating similar concepts.)
Here is a document that appears to be from 1985 highlighting some of what was happening (and the costs involved and the feasibility of incorporating these ideas into an education environment.)

Kind of enlightening considering it came out in 1980 and demonstrates the technology of the time (and they are demonstrating what Pioneer imagined to be an interactive disc technology controlled like a videogame, which I only saw as an imagined prototype with some failed launch of a concept for an idea some years after 1980 which are rare to find even in a videogame museum; neither of which seemed to show what is demonstrated of a clown-based quiz show at around 21 minutes into the video (so I have no idea what that was, and this video doesn't really bother explaining any of it. Any of the consoles that exist today are only "playable" after replacing the capacitors and once functioning, are not much different from Laserdisc arcade games, where you just watch a movie after pushing a few buttons to give the illusion of an interactive game.)
It still looked really advanced for the time, and the very first actual consumer CD format game was on an Apple computer around 1988, by Cyan, the creators of Myst. It wouldn't ever be a popular format until 3DO, once 16 bit moved onto 32 bit, and eventually redefined how data was processed instead of relying on what would still look like grainy pixelated videos (hence why no one remembers V-CD, and even LaserDisc came as a surprise to me around the mid 90s when I first encountered it because the only real improvement it had over tape format was better audio, and even betamax was the preferred format for TV syndicates because it fit the format of most time slots.)
Some music performances (mostly) and an interview with a guy that was using infrared sensors to interface with his performance at around 1 hr 14 mins (kind of like "air guitar" or a theramin) and a percussion sound. Since I didn't watch the part where he was performing, it sounded more impressive than it actually was.

Just imagine what kind of wrinkly prunes they look like now? It was also around that time that Mardi Gras wouldn't arrest people when they flashed in public; but this was a normalized redneck party.

Re: What are you watching?
Trump's 2017 "tax cuts" to CEOs "where they agreed to give back bonuses to employee pay" allowed for stock buybacks and entrenched CEO salary in stock (which had previously been illegal, but even when it's "legal" does not suggest that society hasn't turned to shit routinely even when a government permits something, and he is doing another "reach around" with his "big beautiful bill.")
New Gilded Age?
It's also obvious why the stock market does not reflect the economy, and why it went hyperbolic under the orange turd.
And if the mantra of techno-Feudalism wasn't enough of a warning about the cultish psychopathic world the "tech bros" live in, it should seem obvious that they only pretend to care about the environment, and that as long as people pretend reality is something it isn't, Realpolitik's is the new norm. . .
I may come back to this (it's 3 hours. . .)

I was watching the usual click-bait stuff ( https://www.facebook.com/ghostsoflondon ... 5804252064 ) on Facebook when it seems more to the story has occurred. Initially it seemed like she was being evicted because she threatened a colleague at work with a knife, and this was the reason for the confrontation, and even still holding a knife when talking to the Officer; but it seems like a lien was placed on her apartment (probably because being a scientist with student loans doesn't pay very well) and it was auctioned off at $30,000 when it's worth about $400,000 and this would have coincided with other issues such as what she was facing at work.
The son would sue the county for wrongful death (and not addressing what should be considered a mental health crisis,) being awarded $825,000 (because she was provoked to elevate the situation.) This is very typical of how they "resolve" issues when they can't get people to cooperate.
