Google launches O3D, 3D in browser
Google launched today a plugin to get 3D in the browser. A very exciting news for the guys that are pushing for 3D in our day to day web browsing. The downside is that you have to install a small plugin to get this to work, the engine is based on their own JavaScript engin, V8.
The demos are pretty cool, but it begs the question: Google way or the canvas way of Mozilla ? Well for my part I don’t know, I tend to say more open is better, so Mozilla is ahead in my opinion.
However, Google said this was only an example of what it could be. They wanted to “start” a discussion on the ways to push 3D in our browser. Kind of crazy if you ask me.
A good round up here.
