The results are absolutely mind blowing. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/crypt-webgl.unigine.com\/\">check out the non-interactive demo here<\/a>. It works in either Firefox or Chrome. <\/p>\n<p>If your browser, namely Internet Explorer, can&#8217;t display WebGL rendered 3D visuals, check out some screenshots below: <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.ientry.com\/sites\/webpronews\/article_pics\/crypt2.png\" alt=\"HTML5-Based 3D Rendering\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.ientry.com\/sites\/webpronews\/article_pics\/crypt3.png\" alt=\"HTML5-Based 3D Rendering\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.ientry.com\/sites\/webpronews\/article_pics\/crypt4.png\" alt=\"HTML5-Based 3D Rendering\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more details on this project, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.actisku.com\/en\/actisku-3d-real-time-demo-no-plug#overlay-context=en\/actisku-3d-real-time-demo-with-no-plug-in\">check out Actisku&#8217;s blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=_TYMzwvhaK8:68jQfhNHExM:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/_TYMzwvhaK8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, Mozilla released an impressive tech demo called BananaBread that showed how HTML5 and WebGL can handle 3D rendering in a game.
