WebGL enables nice and smooth hardware-accelerated graphics for web applications. It is now supported in latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari (you may want to update your browser). Not sure about IE.
If you're in Safari, go to Preferences, then to Advanced and select Show Develop menu in menu bar checkbox at the bottom. Now you can open Develop in menu bar and select Enable WebGL. You're ready to go!
This is the classic Conway's Game of Life implemented in JavaScript and hardware-accelerated WebGL. Read Wikipedia article about it.
