Google's O3D - Browser based 3d

I got a tweet yesterday about Google's O3D, their new in the browser 3d engine.

All I can say is OMG! Finally, something that is 3d, that is not overly complicated or is a crazy 800 pound gorilla of a client. Not that Unity3d has not been the browser based 3d client, which has been around for a while, but the thing with Google's O3D, is it is FREE.

The O3D is actually a Javascript API to the plugin, making the learning curve much less than other proprietary scripting languages. You can check out a video here




If you want to check out O3D download the plug-in here.
More in-depth can be found here (for developers too).

After you get the plug-in, check the visualization of google trends.

I will be doing a follow post on this code, so look for it.

Enjoy and be well,

Jeffrey
