Hi,
Is anybody interested in creating a webGL [1] renderer for 3d graphics
for the Sage notebook? We have JMOL, Tachyon, Java3d and x3d renderers
for 3d graphics. Webgl support would be very forward looking. It's
also *3d accelerated* unlike Jmol, so could provide amazingly good
performance.

Remember that Carl Witty already has some progress towards this from a
long time ago:

At that time, he worked on using sceneJS. SceneJS still looks very
promising.
I also looked at using x3dom and our current x3d generation:
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/msg/c73977efaff86cfb. I
wasn't extremely impressed with the results at the time, but it was
something.
I would love to see a webgl renderer.
Thanks,
Jason
