Google has partly scrapped a browser plugin project called O3D, instead throwing its full weight behind a 3D Web graphics technology called WebGL that got its start at Mozilla.The move, first reported by CNET, has the potential to simplify the effort to bring hardwareaccelerated 3D graphics to the Web, an idea that has appeal to those trying to refashion it as a foundation for applications such as games. However, it also means the functioningif experimentalO3D technology is going back to the drawing board for a while.The overall idea of O3D, a higherlevel interface than the 3D nuts and bolts provided by WebGL, will live on, though Google is rebuilding it as a library of prebuild software others can use on top of a WebGL foundation, Engineering Director Matt Papakipos and programmer Vangelis Kokkevis announced the move on the final O3D blog post Friday.
