Looks neat. What about browsers support ? Can you use it from IE8 ?

It works on Chrome, FF and Opera. It doesn't seem to work on ie8/9 (maybe canvas issues).

I think IE8 doesn't have the canvas element.

Explorercanvas will help you out here. I am not sure if it can keep up, but it performs very well. http://code.google.com/p/explorercanvas/

Just tried it, renders nicely but it doesn't animate.
