3D Javascript

Back in the day, it seemed as though this text-based maze was the best Javascript could do as far as 3D. Today I came across a pretty nifty 3D object that moves in “real time”. Click here to check it out. Instead of using ridiculous amounts of 1-pixel divs to create triangles, the author takes advantage of borders to form triangles. The resulting smaller div-count allows for movement in seudo real-time.

I can’t think of any particularly useful real-world implementations of this, but it’s a pretty cool technique.
