A few weeks ago, Google joked about creating a special version of Google Chrome which show web in 3D. Well Google introduce O3D, all joking aside now, a new, shader-based, low-level graphics API for creating interactive 3D applications in a web browser. Most content on the web today is in 2D, but a lot of information is more fun and useful in 3D which is enabling users to create and interact with 3D content
What is O3D?
O3D is an open-source web API for creating rich, interactive 3D applications in the browser.This API allows for the development of sophisticated 3D applications that rival experiences one would expect in native applications. Technology like this will eventually make launching high quality games as easy as clicking a link in your browser.
