I am not seeing any updates for Google O3D WebGL wrapper for a very long time, and I am not seeing much in the form of posts regarding o3d webgl on this site or other content on the internet - what's happening with O3D WebGL wrapper is it still in development?

  • When you say they are actively maintaining O3D inside the Chrome repo that sounds like they are moving the functionality that they can from the javascript library to the browser, to offset the load to the browser to handle the loading of assets more efficiently .. is that about right? This would mean that the browser makers have decided that the browser its self needs to have a standardized WebGL wrapper built ontop of webgl no? Still a little confused, the blog was last updated on Friday, May 07, 2010 – Chris Dec 28 '10 at 13:08
  • I would say that they are going for supporting & improving WebGL. And yes, they are just making Chrome support O3D "out of the box". – ismail Dec 28 '10 at 13:09
  • Thanks for your answer İsmail, before I accept it, do think this means that working with the current javascript library would be a waste of time in your opinion? Many Thanks, Chris – Chris Dec 28 '10 at 13:15
  • Chris, I am not a JavaScript or O3D expert but as I see the recent work in Chrome I can say that 3D support in Web is going to be WebGL mostly. Checkout Google's "Body Browser", works in Chrome & Firefox. And if you add Safari to the equation then you can see its gonna be the next hit for 3D Web. – ismail Dec 28 '10 at 13:17
