LightUp Web Plugin
-
Years can pass until all browsers will adapt WebGL (and everyone - or at least the majority of users) update to those browsers. There are still people with IE 6 nowadays!
Otherwise I completely agree. Best would be not to have to use plugins at all.

Yes. Agreed.
They're generally a PITA.

Yes, WebGL will be some time away unfortunately. Just FYI, The rule of thumb for browser based content is you lose around 80% of your potential users the instant they see the need to download a plugin.
So using WebGL or Flash 11 will be great - when it arrives.Currently, we've got:
Safari - done
IE - working but unfinished
Firefox - just startedBased on the LightUp website stats, these 3 browsers cover the large majority of visitors to the site.
It is frustrating to have to produce 3 entirely different plugins like this but in the short/medium term its the only way to deliver.
While out here in San Fran, I've been talking with the Google guys about perhaps using a Native Client solution. This would work very nicely but again its just for Chrome / Webkit based browsers.
Lastly, if you have used the latest LightUp Player on OSX and Windows (http://www.light-up.co.uk/index.php?t=player ), you'll see that you can embed a URL in the watermark in the corner. Clicking on this launches a browser to tht URL you've set and we plan on having the same functionality in the browser plugin.
