Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hm, that is strange. It does not even tax my CPU enough to kick it out of its lowest speed state, let alone tax any of the cores.

That's interesting. What kind of CPU?

Intel 3930k:

After the peaks when it is flat at around 3% is when it is playing.

Finally a demo that doesn't make me think "Wow, the web has really caught up to the 1995 desktop!" Maybe if you're already an after-effects wiz this doesn't seem as magical, but it certainly felt like magic to me.

I've clocked many hours into After Effects, but seeing this in a browser and _interactive_ is amazing. Never would I have thought that JS and browsers would progress so much in such a short period of time.

Wow, I've never seen all 4 cores in my machine simultaneously spin up to 90% before. Nice trick.

Likewise, 5-7%, but I don't have a nice new machine like you do.

Core 2 Quad Q9950 and an nVidia Geforce 8800 GT 512MB.

This even works smoothly on my HTC One X (International) running Firefox Aurora with only occasional frame drop. Amazing.

Impressive! It's really amazing to see how OpenGL can enrich the web if it's used right. A few years ago I'd never have guessed shaders could be used in a browser.

I have little experience with Javascript projects, so can I ask why the name Seriously? Wouldn't a more descriptive name cover the contents? Also, why is the main source file 4K lines long? That's a little off-putting.

LOL, my old core2 duo has both cpus running over 80% on Ubuntu with a GeForce GTX260. But when I click on another tab, with the video still playing on a non-visible tab in Chrome, the cpus drop to around 20%. When I click on the video tab again, the cpu ramps up to the 80% mark again. Neat trick.

Hi, I'm the person responsible for/guilty of this. Thanks for the comments, everyone. My sympathies for the BSOD. Please keep the bug reports and questions coming. I'll try to fix/answer what I can.

You... you're the one! :-)

Nice work. I'm curious about where you got the video, was that something you recorded, or got from somewhere? I don't really work with video, but I'm sure I can find something useful for it in the future.

"Sadly, we are unable to get Seriously.js to work on your computer. Sometimes WebGL gets a bit weird with certain graphics hardware and drivers. Please have a look here for more information."

Apparently with my Retina MacBook Pro with 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5, I "need to upgrade my video drivers", according to the site...
