WebGL Chrome Experiments the FAIL IN FIREFOX


This one worked well. However, it took a lot longer to load and start up than it did in Chrome. 

This program worked perfectly as well. 


This one worked as well. 

All 3 of mine from Chrome worked in Firefox. I will try some more and see if other ones work too. 

I tried CUBERUNNER and MUSICBOX as well and both of them worked. Asking other people, I found that most of the WebGL programs worked with Firefox. I am hoping that we can talk about it in next class and see which ones failed.



WebGL Chrome Experiments using Google's Chrome Browse




So the first one that I went to was called Polysonic. I thought it was pretty cool because it was basically a program that moved to the beat of a song. So the ball in the middle would pulsate and change into different shapes based on the song that was playing. The world also moved around so you could see it in all dimensions which I thought was really cool.

Next one I tried out was called JS racing. You are in a formula one car and you race against computers around the track. It's pretty cool because you can change perspectives and go from first to third person. You are able to control your car in any direction and able to see it from all views. 



 So in this one, you can see the music player in all different perspectives. You are also in charge of the music. When you click over the needle, a handle pops up and you drag it to drop the needle on the record. You can also spin the crank and have the music box play. It's pretty awesome.
