Graphics on the Web: Going Beyond Images and Rectangles
   by Vladimir Vukicevic
Over the past few years, browser innovation has proceeded at a fever 
pitch. As a result, the open web has many capabilities that were not 
possible even a few years ago, all available in a standards-compliant 
and cross-platform way. In this presentation, we'll look at some of 
the recently available capabilities, as well as provide a look at 
features that are currently being worked on. We'll also examine 
efforts to get 3D capabilities into the browser, and talk about some 
of the core improvements in browser technologies that are making this 
possible.
