Browsing in 3D?

By Michael Calore 

A new initiative by some of the web's giants is threatening the dominance of Flash, the near-ubiquitous technology for displaying graphics in the browser.

Mozilla and Google are teaming up with software companyKhronos to develop new technologies for rendering 3D graphics in browsers. Their methods involve using the popular OpenGL graphics engine, JavaScript and some experimental code within HTML called Canvas. The companies have started a working group to meet these ends and hope to have a stable working demo within a year.
