WebGL (Web-based Graphics Library) 
is a software library that extends  the 
capability of the JavaScript programming 
language to allow it to generate 
interactive 3D graphics 
within any compatible web browser.

> This is the technology that the 
Mozilla Foundation championed through  
 the HTML5 committee.
> 
> The project was sponsored by Google,
and the model viewer below the video 
only works in Chrome.

> along with the "online narrative" 
& examples, they released an Impressive 
open source 3d framework on top of webGL:
