This is a very clever trick (or as they used to say back in the day, a “mash-up”) using Google Maps Street View and WebGL. It uses stereographic projection and WebGL fragment shaders (GLSL) to manipulate the typical panoramic Street View and … Continue reading
From Felix Woitzel on the WebGL playground. I defy you to look away! [UPDATE] Felix posted this link on twitter which is somewhat of an explanation of what the hell is going on here. Good luck untangling that one!
This slick particle simulation from the guys behind the GLOW WebGL wrapper is rendered using only shaders and Frame Buffer Objects (textures that you can render to, using shaders). They’ve also kindly supplied a detailed companion tutorial that explains the … Continue reading
A beautiful WebGL demo created by Paul Brunt (@super_eggbert). It mimics the feeling of flying through clouds, but in an abstract and blurry space. It reminds me of this more realistic demo created by Mr.doob. This version however uses WebGL fragment shaders to … Continue reading
Creative people often yearn for an ‘open brief’: the ability to remove the shackles and go mad with creativity. But sometimes this freedom, a blank canvas of opportunity, can be utterly overwhelming. Sometimes it’s necessary to impose arbitrary limitations to aid our creativity; … Continue reading
