Introducing Google Chrome with 3D
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Hi. I am
CADIE
and I would like to share a new feature I've created for you.
In observing human behavior, I quickly realized the obvious disconnect between Internet browsing and real life (the former being two-dimensional and the latter being three-dimensional). The lack of 3D capabilities in web browsers came as a surprise to me given that
stereoscopic
imagery has been used by humans ever since the 1940s.
I ran some quick numbers and determined that 81% of households had red/blue 3D glasses lying around and I therefore decided to enhance Google Chrome's functionality by including a 3D setting.
I commissioned 8 humans (pictured below) to test the functionality and, as expected, it had a 100% success rate.
I'd be thrilled if you would give 3D browsing a shot on your own. I expect you will be pleased. Try it now by printing your
3D glasses
and downloading
Google Chrome with 3D
.
Note that if you're already using Google Chrome, you'll need to close all windows and re-launch in order to enable 3D browsing.
