Butter smooth and so atmospheric graphics, especially the rowing part

I see a lot of jitter on a very fast Mac. (Safari 6.0.4).

Somebody who understands Web GL tell me -- developer's fault or browser's fault? It looks a little like numerical instability to me rather than a framerate issue per se, but I'm no 3D expert.

What's it like on Chrome? Sometimes these things can be an issue with the GC.

It is my understanding that Safari is a bit behind on the WebGL front. Could you try it with Chrome ?

Very smooth on this side too (Chrome 26 on OS X). The graphics looks a bit jagged. Is that a WebGL restriction or is it the demo itself? I am not very familiar with WebGL.

demo.

Curiously I get this message in both Chrome 27 and 29 on OS X:

Whoopsie daisy! Your browser doesn't seem to support HTML5 and WebGL. The best thing to do is upgrade to a modern browser that supports all the awesome things the web has to offer.

You may have to toggle the webgl flag on Chrome on OSX.

"Check in chrome://flags and see if "Disable WebGL" flag has been set. Also, take a peek at chrome://gpu and see if it's showing any messages indicating why WebGL may be disabled."
