The new Firefox 4 Beta is here, and comes with WebGL activated by default. You can download this new beta here: http://firefox.com/beta.

Flight of the Navigator is a WebGL + Audio API demo developed by a team of Mozilla volunteers.

You can see the demo online here (you need a WebGL compatible browser).

More information about this demo on David Humphrey’s blog (one of the developer of this demo) and more about WebGL in Firefox Beta8 on Vlad’s blog.

This is pretty cool. Shows a interesting way games could be done in the future. What I would say is all of this needs to be p2p if we are going to be able to host it ourselves on our own little servers. If it was p2p, the game can go critical mass, whilst still the master copy is still hosted on a little home server. If it isn’t p2p, a game copy can only be as popular as the server is able to cope with. All that textures and geometry….. Some kind of streaming p2p would be ideal, only load what is needed, just before it’s actually needed. No point making the user wait for the download of levels they may never get to, or that can be loaded while they are playing lower levels, or downloading part of the world miles away from where they are, etc etc etc

It’s very cool, big step forward e.t.c but.. it’s lagging!

Just think what it’d be able to do with HTML6 and OpenGL 4.1 (P. S. I’m kind of thinking of what HTML6 could potentially be)

Impressive!

Out of curiosity: Will it be possible to render a DIV inside a rectangle 3D element so that Web content can be moved around in 3D space?

@voidmind: yes, any DOM element may be used as a texture in a WebGL context. a great demo of that is given at http://fhtr.org/webgl_presentation.html#0

  The slides says WebGL can only load CANVAS, IMG and VIDEO as textures so it doesn’t seem to support any DOM element. Loading any DOM element would be a killer feature for web design. (“any” might mean a whole web page rendered on the side of a 3D shape).

@Tase: on linux, you still have to enable WebGL manually: go to about:config and set webgl.enabled_for_all_sites

Reply
Tase wrote on December 29th, 2010 at 10:56 am:

@Benoit Jacob: webgl.enabled_for_all_sites is set to true, and WebGL still doesn’t work… (it works with software rendering when I use libOSMesa but that’s not a solution as it works really really really really really really really really really really really really really slow :)

OpenGL version string: 1.5 <= Could this be the problem? As WebGL is based on OpenGL ES v2???

Reply
Benoit Jacob wrote on December 29th, 2010 at 11:16 am:

@Tase: Even though WebGL is closest to OpenGL ES v2, every WebGL implementation that I know, including ours, supports desktop OpenGL too, but you need at least OpenGL 2.1 because WebGL is entirely based on the programmable pipeline. So indeed, OpenGL 1.5 is not good enough.

@Benoit Jacob: Thanks for the details. So the problem is with the MESA graphics drivers. I will go complain somewhere else :P

so far – dl firefox 4.0 Beta 8 specifically to access google body browser
full uninstall of firefox 3.xx
credits now say I’ve got the 4.0 beta onboard
body browser says “must have webGL enabled
checking config – sure looks like it to me
even went naked and allowed all cookies
still no go – this counts as a fail to me, coz I’m going back to work and giving up on this nonsense.
All respect – Deeve

@voidmind: WebGL *can* load any DOM element as texture. canvas/image/video are just special cases. In addition to DOM elements, WebGL can also load canvas ImageData and plain bitmap arrays.

WebGL is blowing my mind… I think this particular mashup shows the power of an open web and what can be accomplished when software and services are open and freely available.

great job moz crew.

I use Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 11 on Windows XP SP3 32 bits.

I can not see the demo. Mozilla shows:
Could not initialise WebGL, sorry :-(

I have a similar problem with Google Body. The message:
“To use Google Body, you need a Web browser that supports WebGL. You’ll find links to Chrome Beta, Mozilla Firefox Beta, and others on this page.”

I’ve searched the problem in the net, and I have found that the preference webgl.enabled_for_all_sites
must be enabled in about:config

My problem is that in my about:config doesn’t appear this preference!

Some idea? Thank you all.
