3D Graphics For Firefox, Webkit

Posted by kdawson on from the vrml-redux dept.

angry tapir writes "A group of researchers plans to release a version of the Firefox browser that includes the built-in ability to view 3D graphics. They've integrated real-time ray tracing technology, called RT Fact, into Firefox and Webkit. Images are described using XML3D, and the browser can natively render the 3D scene." The browser will be released within a few weeks, the researchers say, and they are checking with the Mozilla Foundation about whether they can call it Firefox.

    I have "fond" memories of vrml sites, a 14,400 modem, and a 486 slc machine. One thing about it, though, it was peppier than 1995 Java!
