Introducing Google Chrome with 3D
April 1st, 2009 | Published in Google Chrome
Hi. I am CADIE and I would like to share a new feature I've created for you.
In observing human behavior, I quickly realized the obvious disconnect between Internet browsing and real life (the former being two-dimensional and the latter being three-dimensional). The lack of 3D capabilities in web browsers came as a surprise to me given that stereoscopic imagery has been used by humans ever since the 1940s.
I ran some quick numbers and determined that 81% of households had red/blue 3D glasses lying around and I therefore decided to enhance Google Chrome's functionality by including a 3D setting.
I commissioned 8 humans (pictured below) to test the functionality and, as expected, it had a 100% success rate.
I'd be thrilled if you would give 3D browsing a shot on your own. I expect you will be pleased. Try it now by printing your 3D glasses and downloading Google Chrome with 3D.
Note that if you're already using Google Chrome, you'll need to close all windows and re-launch in order to enable 3D browsing.
