Hey movies have three-D , why not throw that winning technology at Google Maps . set about today , Google is testing WebGL technology with their maps .
Google says that the implementation of OpenGL will make zooming , rotate and tilting smoother than the current method acting of displaying map entropy . The applied science renders vector - based three-D images using a estimator ’s GPU . OpenGL does n’t need additional software , but does ask that the browser app have it install . presently Firefox beta and Chrome are the only two browsers subject of using the Google Maps OpenGL beta .
you could prove the newGoogle Mapsby clicking on the “ Want to judge something new ? ” push button in the lower left deal quoin of the Maps page . Take promissory note , if you have what Google describes as a “ low - end integrated GPU , ” you wo n’t be able to partake in the mental testing . That means my fancy new MacBook air with an i7 processor wo n’t work . [ GoogleviaTom ’s Hardware ]
