3D graphics in the browser (no joke)
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
A few weeks ago, we joked about creating
a special version of Google Chrome
that made the web 3D. Well today, all joking aside, a team at Google is actually taking a step in that direction by introducing
O3D
: a shader-based API for 3D graphics in the browser.
This API allows for the development of sophisticated 3D applications that rival experiences one would expect in native applications. Technology like this will eventually make launching high quality games as easy as clicking a link in your browser.
Read more about O3D on the
Google Code blog
or explore the API at
