End of the Desktop? Google Backs WebGL
,----[ Quote ]
| Stick a fork in the desktop, itâs done!
| Recently Google demoed a port of Quake II to
| WebGL and HTML5, showing that even first person
| shooters are suitable applications to run in
| the browser. While the tide isnât going to turn
| all at once, it seems more likely than ever
| that a browser-based desktop is a viable option
| and ultimately the way many users will
| experience all applications.

Google Launches 3D Graphics Driver Project for Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has launched a new project for
| Chrome that will let the browser run a
| wider range of 3D graphics content without
| downloading additional drivers.
|
| The open-source project, called ANGLE
| (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine),
| seeks to let Chromium run WebGL content on
| Windows computers, wrote product manager
| Henry Bridge on the Chromium blog.

Google Gets Into The 3D Driver Game
,----[ Quote ]
| To help out the adoption of WebGL, the
| Khronos-backed API originally started by
| Mozilla that seeks to let web developers
| tap into modern graphics processors via the
| web-browser natively, has caused Google to
| get into the graphics driver game. WebGL
| binds to OpenGL ES 2.0, and with the
| Microsoft graphics drivers being more
| DirectX-optimized rather than OpenGL,
| Google's playing to Microsoft. Google wants
| more users to be able to use WebGL,
| particularly when running the Chrome
| browser, so they have just announced the
| Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine. The
| objective of ANGLE is to just take the
| subset of the OpenGL ES API exposed by
| WebGL and to translate those extensions
| into their DirectX 9.0c equivalents.
