I want to replicate the sketch functionality provided by chrome canvas in my own project.
I understand that Google uses their ink library for this purpose.
The reasons I want to use this library are:
Draws smooth lines for pencil/pen/marker
Provides very low latency for touch input
Provides ink-pen emulation
However I can't find any documentation for this library. How to compile and use this library in a web project?
I'm engaging in the project to use WebGL. I think if I could see the source of Chronium related to WebGL, It would be very helpful to solve any bugs.
Thus, I tried to find sources in Chronium project repository(https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master).
But, I could not find any files related to WebGL so far. Does anyone knows where is the source code related to WebGL?
I think this is a better link to browse the source of Chromium:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/core/
WebGL related classes are in "src/third_party/WebKit/Source/modules/webgl/", for example here is "WebGLRenderingContext.h":
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/modules/webgl/WebGLRenderingContext.h&q=webglrender&sq=package:chromium&l=1
Chrome is now using the "Blink" rendering engine, related WebGL classes are for example here:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/out/Debug/gen/blink/bindings/modules/v8/V8WebGLRenderingContext.h&sq=package:chromium&q=v8webglren&l=1
For more info about Blink:
http://www.chromium.org/blink
I also recommend reading Brandon Jones' blog post about Blink and WebGL:

I need some help.
Is there a way to use Kinect (on windows) using Adobe tools? Flash? AS3?
Is there any good tutorial for it.
Basically I need a basic feature - a navigation menu with my own UI.
Can anyone give some links to tutorials? Sample code?
I could not find any but I am sure there are many examples on the web.

Yoav
Yes this is possible! You need to use an ANE.
I would start here:
This is the git repot for the AIRKinect extension
Source:
https://github.com/AS3NUI/airkinect-2-core
Examples:

Once you have the files check out this video tutorial on how to get started

While admiring the beautiful graphics and animations of the 2011 Zeitgeist I was wondering if the visualization are custom made or based from an available library or project.
Do you know is there a library or project for making similar HTML(5) visualization?
Built this from scratch after I saw the Google zeitgeist app. http://hsivaram.com/tech/2012/01/09/demo-data-visualization-inspired-by-google-zeitgeist-2011/
seems to be javascript-based. If you open up the web inspector you can see that it uses a libs.js file along with scripts.js under the 'zeitgeist' category.
Of course, it also uses Keanu and JQuery.
The art is probably custom.

I have 3D CAD model that I want to show on a web page. I'd like to show it in a form like a <img> tag (e.g. inline with everything else rather than as a separate page) and I want the visitor to be able to rotate the model to view it from different perspectives.
What options do I have?
Things I'm thinking of/looking at
VRML
3DXML
flash
PDF has something that works but it doesn't embed like I want
3DMLW (Seems very slow)
Universal 3D (supported by Adobe Reader)
Edit:
The model is not very complex so perf is not a major concern.
Chrome Experiments has released several 3D Javascript applications. Here's an example:
Colors Cube
Papervison3D is a 3D flash library which might be worth a look. I haven't had the opportunity to play with it myself, but some of the demos look good.
Papervision and Unity3D are the best choices for the pipeline in and quick loading. Flash is installed on most machined but you need to export as COLLADA format and there is a limit of 2000 polys before it bogs down.
Unity 3D has a great pipeline and is free for the indie now. It supports very high poly counts and the plugin installs without a browser restart and is around 4MB (Flash and Sliverlight are both over 4MB now).
Another option might be Torque 3D but that is also very game based. I think your best option is Unity 3D. You can export as FBX and have it on the web in about 5 minutes.
In the future you could use O3D from Google or WebGL but it is not ready for primetime. The only capable simple pipeline to get 3d on the web currently with decent poly counts is Unity3D. It works on PC and Mac just like Flash and Silverlight.
I am not sure how good flash is at 3d support for things like CAD app file formats. IIRC, flash cannot do hardware accelerated 3D graphics. On the other hand, a Java applet can (with the right library).
A new tool called Sketch Fab came out a few month ago. It's designed entirely in HTML5 and seems very powerful.
You could also look at the <canvas> tag, which is being implemented by more browsers. There is probably already a JavaScript library for model viewing.
Consider QuickTime VR. It allows for much of what you ask and since you have the original, you can create a fairly accurate model.
Unity: http://unity3d.com
Have a look at http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/freewheel/
Project FreeWheel can show 2D and 3D models made in Autocad, Invertor or Revit. I think it uses DWF or something.
At this point it's not possible to host FreeWheel on your own server, but you can upload a DWF to Autodesk and show your model in an IFrame.
VRML might be a good choice. There's a good client available from Parallel Graphics that I've used for quite a while now. I've got some VRML models on my website (though the content is quite trivial!). The models will load quite quickly, especially if they're not that large. There are several navigation modes available and you can lock it to "examine" which lets the user rotate the model (though in fact it's the camera that's moving around the object).
You will need to find a program that can write VRML files, though any decent modeller will have that option.
Seems like canvas tag based javascript drawing apis are picking up. See this recently released canvas 3d js library, even though it works only in FF 3.5: http://www.c3dl.org/
Autodesk is coming out with their new viewer api:
http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/webtech/
Shockwave with some scripting code for the user being able to rotate the model.
Here's a JavaScript 3D rendering engine: pre3d.
If you haven't checked it out, Mr. Doob has a library for 3D graphics and modeling: homepage and git repo for three.js.
You could use A3dsViewer - provides export to HTML5(three.js) or you can do directly export to the Google Drive and get the generated <iframe> url for the yours page.
Exported HTML5 models contains by default included rotation functionality.
You can create html file of you 3D model using this plugins. It will generate single html file and you will able to use it any where in your website or you can send it to client as well
