WebGL

Okay this ones a bit geeky. I was wondering what new web technologies are on the horizon so I did a bit of googling and found WebGL. I’d read about this a while back but now there’s lots more out there. This is 3D  for your web browser (think interactive objects, not 3D movies). First off you’ll need to download a nightly build of Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Opera then enable WebGL on it (typically via the command line). You can find details here:

Once you’ve enabled it check out;
