Goo Technologies has unveiled a cool-looking online gambling site called Casinofloor.com that shows off the power of Goo’s HTML5 web-based graphics technology.

Stockholm, Sweden-based Goo has created the Goo Engine, which enables games to take advantage of 3D hardware acceleration on any device, resulting in browser-based games that don’t suck when it comes to graphics. The technology is based on HTML5, the lingua franca of the web. Another technology, WebGL, has been created to accelerate the performance of HTML5 programs so that they can run fast enough on the web.  With both technologies together, Goo Technologies hopes to create cool 3D games that are instantly playable, with no need for browser plug-ins.
