I have to say that this is quite impressive. Not only do the models appear very smooth (and fast), but the textures look great and with lighting, etc.

There is one question I have had that this reminds me of, and that is if there are any really impressive WebGL demos out there. I looked a while back and was not able to run across anything significant. Right now to me it seems like WebGL is technically proficient but distributed less widely than even VRML was.

Not true at all. See:

http://playwebgl.com/

The main obstacle to wider adoption is the lack of support in IE. IE10 will hopefully fix that, and meanwhile it's losing share.
