That is seriously impressive. WebGL's future looks very bright, indeed.

  I agree. Though a bit choppy for me, that was a genuinely beautiful experience, from both a technological and artistic perspective. (running Chrome, but not Canary)

This could use a more descriptive title than "Amazing WebGL Demo", such as "Interactive WebGL music video"
- ujeezy 15y ago
  Agreed, thanks for the suggestion :)

I highly recommend checking out the Technology page for a 3D model view, demos, and source.

It breaks the Back button... and the 'Best viewed in Internet Explorer' days seem to be back, although it's now a more apologetic 'Sorry, this site was designed with Google Chrome in mind'.

  Doesn't work for me in Chrome 13 on my MBP. That is unfortunate.

  It's a standard though isn't it? As in all browsers should eventually add it, except for probably IE. Not like Chrome has gone off in their own direction here like IE would.

  yeah, that's what I thought when I ran it in FF 3.6, I got the message "sorry, you're gonna need chrome". So I fired up Chrome 11 (which I also use) and I got "We are very sorry, but 3 Dreams of Black is an experiment and unfortunately does not currently function on every configuration. It appears that your computer's graphics card doesn't support WebGL technology. You can find more details for troubleshooting here and obtain a list of recommended graphics cards." I tried following the link, but it just takes you to a google chrome download page - nothing obvious about graphic cards. Now granted this is a work machine, and a fairly old one at that, but I have a GeForce 7600 GT which isn't the worst card out there by a long way. Is Chrome the new IE? Well certainly they're pushing the envelope a bit, and that's good for the long-term evolution of the web. On the other hand it's gonna be a long time (if ever) for technology which is dependent on specific graphics hardware to make it into the mainstream.
