WebGL Chrome Experiments using Google's Chrome Browse

Voxels Liquid by Mr. Doob. This Chrome extension built using WebGL shows how powerful the graphics engine is. As you move your cursor about the 3D grid, the coordinate closest to your cursor will rise and ripple everything around it. The effect slowly fades out once you stop moving your cursor. 



Generative Machines by Google Data Arts Team. In this WebGL space, a number of mechanical parts are thrown together into a working machine. The interface allows the user to input parameters that determine the complexity of the machine then it will begin to build in front of you. The entire model is fully zoomable and interactive as well. 



100,000 Stars by Google Data Arts Team. In this WebGL 3D environment, the user is allowed to scale and rotate throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.  The animation as a user input was being processed was quite smooth and the rendering of the galaxy from afar was impressive as well.




This is an exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
