(Sorry for late reply, been busy with other stuff)

WebGL looks interesting, and am thinking of having a play with it. The 
main issue I see is it introduces a web dependency; if you're in the field 
and you don't have web access (or don't want to pay for data download) a 
standalone mobile application would be useful too. But I agree, it does 
look very interesting.
