It's a 3D visualization app for a neuroimaging dataset(can't say much more, should be public soon). We wanted to make that dataset available online to a lot of users and provide a good interface to use it. I started building it with O3D which provided a plugin for IE and really good performance but now that Google moved O3d to WebGL I followed. I'd love to support IE but that's not possible with the current tech and WebGL has served us well so I we won't abandon it just for IE.

That sounds really interesting. For a niche app like that, I guess you would need to run with the best technology available. Hopefully, your users will see the value and not mind switching browsers.

I think that even with something for a general audience, sometimes to choose between spending time trying to support everyone or spend the time building something really good for most people. At least that how I see it.

Thanks for finding it interesting.I'd like to show this app around cause it's so much fun even with no knowledge of the science. A few things need to be resolved before the data set is completely open.
