Let it be cool 2.0 WebGL version.
3D graphics is probably the last thing you would expect to find when visiting a new web site. WebGL or Web Graphics Library is basically a clone of something called OpenGL.
Most triple AAA game developers use OpenGL or DirectX or both. So having this hardware accelerated ability within the web browsers is pretty cool in my books. But as awesome as it is, there are some stumbling blocks.
According to Google's webmasters guideline, Google does not index WebGL web pages, which will enviably put all those awesome projects in a disadvantage compared to the older html style grandpa pages.
There is also an issue of WebGL textures being extra cautious with their origins, preventing any linking in of external photos or videos; Which is a bummer and kind of weird since the older 2D canvas allows it.
I have been working on a hybrid (HTML + WebGL) web page engine as of late. Check out http://cyberspaceandtime.com/O21lDoEoivk.video+related to see a working example of a hardware accelerated project built with said engine. In this case it is an Operating System themed website that plays videos and more.
