ROME and WebGL

There was a new music video release recently that wasn't made for TV but rather for a web browser. It's quite an impressive visual display using code to render the 3D elements together with video and 2d graphics.

Check it out here. http://www.ro.me/ (view in chrome)

The technology they are using is WebGL. It is an extension of JavaScript to allow developers to generate 3D graphics within a web browser. Only issue with it currently is there are only a couple of browsers that are able to render it.

www.ro.me/tech is a page put together by the creators of ROME. It has a model viewer of some of the animals used in the clip and a great collection of some WebGL examples.

Also you can see the making of the clip here.
