Some vendors did have a cube up and running in their booths.
Informix, for example, was demonstrating the WingZ spreadsheet and it
looked like it was almost ready to ship.

I didn't notice whether IBM was demoing NextStep on an RT workstation,
but they haven't been showing this demo much since the spring. (At Siggraph,
for example, there was no IBM NextStep demo.)
