Chrome Web Lab: Sketchbots
Cloud Art?
Google teams up with the Science Museum, London with five experiments connecting your computer with installations - with Sketchbots, you can upload a photo of yourself and it will be drawn by a robot on sand and watch it performed via live webcam. Here is a video:

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

Loop Waveform Visualizer
Trippy browser-based music visualizer. Drag and drop an MP3 file and interact with your mouse. Can only work, though, with Google Chrome.
From Create Digital Motion:
Los Angeles-based developer Felix Turner of Airtight Interactive shares The Loop Waveform Visualizer. Tested for use in Google’s Chrome, it’s powered by two cross-platform, cross-browser, HTML5-associated technologies, WebGL and the Web Audio API. Give it any MP3 (you can even drag and drop right into the browser), and it’ll give you dancing, geometric visuals.

You can try the music visualizer in your Chrome browser here -
The internets are so blurry we’re going to have to wear (3D) shades. (sorry - sometimes I have to)
It would be extremely interesting to see/hear what google has planned for the future of the Internet. I’ll bet that this project will go nicely with their Google TV announcement the other day. Watching 3D IPTV content served from Google in their own Chromium Browser.
At the end of all of this, Google is going to put this world on steroids. Phones, Books, TV, Power, ISP, GPS, Streets, Goggles, Translation and of course Advertising. They are lighting things up.
“Google has launched a new project for Chrome that will let the browser run a wider range of 3D graphics content without downloading additional drivers.
The open-source project, called ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine), seeks to let Chromium run WebGL content on Windows computers, wrote product manager Henry Bridge on the Chromium blog.”
