{Canvas} demo
If you’re viewing this post with a release candidate of Firefox 1.5, take a look at the below <canvas> demo.
For now, you can only walk through a maze from a first person perspective. But it runs smooth and looks pretty impressive.
See the “3D Walker” demo on Canvascape
PS: It is rumored to work on Safari too, but I haven’t tried it yet. Confirmed. The demo works fine on Safari (2).
Small update: It appears to be a bad idea to use (encoded) tags in post titles. So I changed it slightly.
Update: This just has cross-browser* Wolfenstein 3D written all over it. 
Or, … yes there I go again… Google Earth?
*IE6 doesn’t support the canvas-element nor is there an indication IE7 will.
