The audio is fine if that tab is not active but distorts when I switch to it. Otherwise very, very smooth.

Can someone please tell me why I should be excited about these demos? Am I not just seeing an OpenGL wrapper in the browser?

Because it runs in any browser, even mobile ones and requires basically 0 time for compilation and no plugins as opposed to unity, unreal or other engines.

And a very old one too. Look at the website for some really cool looking projects: goocreate.com

Two speaking mountains reading aloud random Twitter messages oO Strangest thing I've seen today http://www.mountainsofmouthness.com/

That is one of my favorite ones. It was awesome to see the guys making it having fun with it and giving them the tools they needed to do it.

One thing that i've seen a couple of times now with these types of demos is that the animation is pretty smooth, but the music / sound is stuttering and noisy. Anyone has that as well? I'm using Chrome on a pretty beefy (16GB) MacBook Pro.

There is a vimeo channel but hasn't been updated with cool videos in a while. We need to fill up the youtube and vimeo channels for sure. https://vimeo.com/gootechnologies

Yup. Choppy sound for me in Chrome w/ 16 GB MacBook Pro, too.

Same here. Reminds me of glitches typical of apps using a too small mixing buffer (in an attempt to run with a low latency?)
