Reposting from another submission of this: This is a little annoying. Google had not said a word about O3D for months and they just announce now that they want to drop the plugin. I think a better idea would have been to use the plugin as a way to provide WebGL and o3d to older browsers until WebGL is widespread. Some of the O3D features are not even possible in WebGL. EDIT: the google group thread explaining about this: http://groups.google.com/group/o3d-discuss/browse_thread/thr.. http://groups.google.com/group/o3d-discuss/browse_thread/thr.... EDIT: Google reiterated that they prefer that Google Frame implements WebGL for IE instead of turning O3D into a complete HTML5 implementation to support api O3D/WebGL developers need.
