WebGL Walker

WebGL is a new standard becoming available to display fast 3D graphics in a browser by exposing a simplified OpenGL interface to Javascript. This new technology is allowing us to make even more interesting demonstrations of our data. In this case, we have created a 3D version of our regular walker complete with an option to enable a full skeleton.

To view this demo you require a browser which supports WebGL. As a rule, if you have to ask if your browser supports WebGL, the answer if probably no. We tested our code using the development build of Mozilla's Firefox browser (known as Minefield). For more instructions on installing and enabling WebGL, please visit this page.

Once you're running a WebGL-enabled browser, you can...

With this demo we are showing here that the point-light walkers generated by tools such as BMLrating can also be expanded into fully animated bodies with all the degrees of freedom required for more realistic renderings of computer graphic characters.
