The software developers from Google Labs have brought out new software called O3D to fetch accelerated 3D graphics to browsers. The software developers have defined “O3D” as "a new, shader-based, low-level graphics API for creating interactive 3D applications in a web browser”.

According to the developers, the idea of browser plug-in software O3D is "to build an API that runs on multiple operating systems and browsers, performs well in JavaScript, and offers the capabilities developers need to create a diverse set of rich applications." The browser plug-in software, O3D is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome that works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

According to Google, O3D, which is right now in its early stages, will help bring a new dimension to web browsing. The API is open source. Presently, the software is browser plug-in, but eventually the software will be built directly into browsers.

In a blog post, Google touted that O3D technology includes a video demonstration, comprehensive with a soothing voice-over and amazing music soundtrack. Google says, O3D provides an interface that lets developers' Web-based JavaScript programs tap directly into a computer's graphics chip, which could mean better games and other applications. Henry Bridge, associate product manager, said, "The time is right for 3D content to move onto the Web.”

Well, Google isn't the only one working to fetch 3D to Web. Firefox backer Mozilla and the Khronos Group have also announced their own effort to build a 3D Web interface.
