Example of why declarative 3D is a win

Hi folks … got a cute little demo that highlights a big win for declarative 3D.
First I've noticed over the past week or so a bunch of slides on the web that are created using a native HTML and a Javascript tool called deck.js. I'd call it the HTML5 replacement for Powerpoint. So I created a very small example and was able to fairly easily slip in a couple of little X3DOM graphics right smack in the middle of these slides. It's a testament to native HTML and declarative graphics. The slide set behaves a little oddly initially...hit the right arrow a few times then the left arrow to go to the beginning of the slides and things generally clean up. And of course you need a browser that supports WebGL for this to work.
