This is fascinating!! 想象一下你漫游在分型的世界里？周围的空间都是极度几何对称的！？[点击图片进入链接]
Fractal Lab [http://fractal.io/]might be coolest demonstration of WebGL and JavaScript that we’ve ever seen here in the Download Squad bunker. If you’ve ever studied Mandelbrot sets — either willingly, or for Computer Science at high school — Fractal Lab will change your perception of iterative, recursive maths for ever.
At first glance, Fractal Lab isn’t immediately exciting — in fact, when you close the Help dialog, all you get is a blank checkerboard. It’s only when you start hitting some buttons that you realize just how awesomely powerful this demonstration is. If you haven’t opened the site up yet, do so now. Then hit ‘3D,’ and wait while your CPU renders your fractal design. What you will eventually see before you is drawn using WebGL and the GLSL shading language.
If that wasn’t cool enough, you can move around the rendered object! Scroll in and out with the mouse wheel, move around with W and S, A and D. If you have a powerful computer, un-tick ‘Preview mode’ at the bottom; it’ll make everything look rather beautiful.
Then, when you’re bored of that, start moving through the tabs: Constants, Fractal, Camera, Colour and Shading. Each and every one will radically change the rendered object, or how it’s displayed in your browser. Pick some new numbers (change the ‘Fractal type’ on the Constants tab!), then hit Recompile.
And yes, if you weren’t excited enough about seeing an actual, real-world application of WebGL, you can even save your fractals using HTML5’s localStorage feature!
Fractal Lab is a small piece of genius, and hopefully a good sign that more awesome things will soon gush from the HTML5 and Open Web pipeline。

我们的PROTEI队伍正在使用KICKSTARTER作为集资平台来开发自主导航的漏油清理机器人。 一年多前认识的塞萨尔.原田定居于新奥尔良市，路易斯安娜州，他热衷于开源硬件和与环 境相关的设计，毕业与英国皇家美院的交互设计专业，作为一个TED高级研究员，前麻省理 工学院智能城市实验室专门研究海洋污染清理工作的他，正在带领这个国际队伍研发一种无 人驾驶的，低成本技术来清理漏油，比如2010年墨西哥湾的漏油事件. 众所周知，漏油清理一直以来依靠昂贵而低效的技术，严重威胁人的健康。于此相反, PROTEI的出现完全突破了传统的漏油清理方式，无人驾驶的帆船机器人有很力在遥远的 距离范围内，不分昼夜，即时是最恶劣的天气条件下正常工作。不需要太多人人力投入， 机器人完全可以代替那些危险而劳累的漏油清理工作。 PROTEI汇合了机车能源和创新的设计，它逆风而行，用很长的吸油尾拦截清理顺风漂浮的漏油， 它可以在远离海岸的地方依靠自主平衡的软设计安全运行。在线游戏玩家甚至可以利用其远程 遥控的功能对其进行控制，PROTEI以它铰接式船体表演突破性的航行技术。我们需要足够的资 金来启动和制作这个项目，这个项目会在9月份荷兰鹿特丹举行的世界港口日展出，将会吸引 40万左右参观者的眼球。现在我们KICKSTARTER页面已经开始了，至今为止收集了接近 $18.000的资金，我们对它的成功充满信心。但是PROTEI需要更多人的支持，以便在4月10 号最后期限顺利完成。之后PROTEI将会被制作成可以自由复制的开源硬件，每个人都可以 自由地使用，更改和推广。 http://protei.org http://media.protei.org : Our media material : http://kickstarter.protei.org : Please join the 100+ supporters of the Protei Kickstarter page.
