I remember waiting 30 minutes for a crappy vrml model of the Enterprise to download over a 28k modem years ago.
This is both impressive, and makes me feel very old.
- sakopov 11y agoExactly! Now this loads on my phone!
- fmueller 11y agoThat's because it's not a phone but a computer which can be used as a phone.
- Skunkleton 11y agoJust like the other other computers that I own that can be used as a toaster, and a fridge!
- irishcoffee 11y agoI recently applied for homeowners insurance, buying my first house, and one of the optional coverages was "computer insurance" for like 3 bucks a year or something silly. The first thing that crossed my mind was: "Well, does that cover the washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher, oven, coffeepot" etc. I didn't ask, but the thought was amusing to me.

(At least the mobile devices of 2015 managed to do 3D acceleration properly. Too bad that desktop never caught up and that the mobile landscape formed by accident due to commoditization, not due to an understanding of open standards.)
- sirival 11y agoWhat device are you testing this on?
- otabdeveloper1 11y agoA Linux machine with an "Intel Integrated Graphics Controller". I doubt an equivalent Windows machine would fare better.
- bitdivision 11y agoThis renders fine on my Linux machine with integrated graphics (chromium). An occasional hanging frame, but nothing serious.
- zxexz 11y agoHuh. It's running perfectly fine on my 2009-era thinkpad x201 (i5 with Intel integrated graphics...) Are you using the Intel driver, with mesa-libgl? I'm viewing it in Firefox on Arch linux.
- jaegerpicker 11y agoIt rendered smoothly for me on a macbook pro running MacOS 10.11, iPhone 6Plus with iOS 9, A Virtual Box running Kali Linux, and a Virtual Box running windows 10. I'd say the issue is with you machine/setup.
- zero_iq 11y agoI think you have a driver problem. Absolutely fine here on Linux Mint with intel integrated graphics.
- vidarh 11y agoRendered just fine for me. Linux machine with i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz and i915 integrated graphics, running Chrome. If it's as slow as you say, it sounds like you're getting software rendering.
