Hi Ed,

WebGL is included with recent versions of Firefox. I think an additional
requirement aside from the browser is that you have a GPU present in your
computer. The GPU handles all of the 3-D rendering.

Unlike Jim, I don't find the rendering sluggish. Well, loading the models
and textures from the web server is the sluggish part but once they're
rendered, the rendering is actually quite fast.
