VRML does just this, and is more than 12 years old now.

yes indeed. vrml come from www.web3d.org. it's a very good open source technology. but the performance is not good enough for commercial usage.

I find it hard to believe that "3d content for web" would be useful. If someone really figures out how it could be useful, then we'll see..

We reorganized our living room some time ago, and I used google sketchup for it - modelled the furniture quickly and we could try out different configurations before starting to move the actual furniture. If I was shopping on the ikea site for example, and could easily drag & drop new furniture in my "virtual home", well, that might be useful. But that's a specialized application.

Apart from that, the only "real" use I see are more irritating ads.

Try Unity. You get high-performance 3D both on the web and standalone. And the tools for building the game (or other content) are really good, which is just as important.

That PSP demo runs off flash, which is already industry accepted and popular. What could possibly topple that?
