Stars, Stars, Everywhere Stars!

A stunning and beautiful in-browser visualization of over 100,000 stars nearby Earth, from Google Chrome labs. It uses actual star location data to draw a 3D map of our Milky Way ‘hood.

The video above is a demo, which is amazing on its own. The full visualization can be found here for those with enough computing horsepower to run it. We may not have warp drive, but we can travel the cosmos from right here in our own browser windows!

Billions and billions!!! Whooooooaaa!!!

Chrome browser-only online experiment uses a selection of album covers and turns them into real-time audio visualizations:

Css3 / JS albums artworks with realtime music analytics thanks to beatdetektor.js 

There are only a few at the moment, with more being worked on. You can try it out for yourself here

Fantastic! Real-time meets viz meets science! (Note that the full music/visualization site only works with Chrome)
