It definitely looks neat and it is something I have been watching for a while. The only downside is the amount of time it is going to take to get it available and uniform in all browsers. Since there is no plugin, we will be at the mercy of the browser developers, and we all know how well and uniform they have implemented Javascript.

they say middle of this year all browser will be compatible. Firefox 3.7 is already compatible but it is only on nightly builds. Release should be in a month or so.

Opera is too and safari

Humm, it looks like it will be fun to work with.

Have you looked into Open 3D?

If you would like your games to be cutting edge, I suggest you start learning Open3D from Google, Its plug-in is part of google chrome and is part of Mozillas included APIs for 3.8+ if I understand the release files, IE will have it in its next upgrade (IE 8?/9?) But its still in development, and looks to be the better Web browser API for 3d applications, Interfaces nicely with javacript.
