OpenGL in Web Pages (Firefox 2.0)

According to Vladimir Vukicevic, the Canvas 3D Context should be available in about 2 weeks. This is exciting news as it offers web developers a great way to draw 3D graphics into their webpages; it might even be a nice way to replace Flash.

Slide 27 of this presentation has a screenshot of what can be done with Canvas 3D. 

However, it is noted the 3D Canvas has a very low level API which: 

  • Doesn’t feel very "web"
  • Will be hard to use without helper libraries
  • It’s a full 3D API; hard to do it any other way
