3D Canvas
By virtuelvis. Friday, 19. May 2006, 14:25:20
At this year's XTech conference, Opera's CTO Håkon Wium Lie did a demo of a hardware accelerated 3d canvas context, as illustrated by the screenshots from a 3d snake implementation done by our own Mathieu 'p01' HENRI
The implementation of the 3d canvas has existed internally for over a year, and shows that the browser is going in a very exciting direction. Soon, we hope to enable people like Benjamin Joffe to make his nice 3d demo even nicer.
Note that we are not the only ones that have been working on 3d in the browser, Vladimir Vukićević also demonstrated similar technology in Firefox at XTech. Synchronisity.
(And, oh, 3d snake is quite fun
)
