Insight
The twinkling of snowfall is forever mesmerising – whether outside your window or within a snow globe. Winterlands, our holiday card for 2014, harnesses the latest innovations in WebGL to bring the magic of winter into the palm of your hand.
Seeking always to merge art and technology in new ways, we pushed to its limit what 3D can do in the mobile browser – creating a rich virtual environment that does not demand users download extra software.
