Where it's at: I got two Freewheels and a mighty Chrome

Testing. Testing 1, 2, 3...

When we create the system requirements for an application or service, we do so based on how we have tested the solution. For example, the Autodesk Freewheel system requirements list:

• Firefox 1.2 or higher
• IE 6 or higher

At the time Freewheel was released we had not tried the Chrome browser. Recently I was alerted to the following page:

Chrome extensions: Autodesk Freewheel 2D/3D Viewer

Since Autodesk Freewheel has a simple HTML interface for embedding your designs within your own web pages (see API documentation), it works easily with Chrome. The same is true with Project Freewheel - our Autodesk Labs version of Project Freewheel that is more experimental in nature. (See a comparison on the documentation page.) Although Chrome currently comprises only 3% of those who use Freewheel, it's nice to know that it works. As Chrome offers a faster browsing experience, it is possible that it may grow in popularity among the performance-oriented user base.

Checking out browser compatibilities is alive in the lab.
