Even though it might have been already showcased some time ago I haven't seen it yet. It's beautiful. I especially like the reflective water. Parallax effect in the diving mode is also a nice touch adding some extra depth.

Have any of you tried running it on iPhone 5? I wonder if there were any performance issues (if it worked at all!;).

Another great thing about this demo is the movement of water, it always move in opposite direction of boat's movement which gives the feel that we are sailing in another boat with camera parallel to boy :)

There is a trick running the web browser on an iPhone with WebGL enabled using testflightapp. We hope that Apple will enable WebGL as a default soon. Basically the technology is all there...

If jailbroken, you can enable WebGL with the Enable WebGL tweak (free).

For what it's worth, it works really nicely on the iPhone 5 in Chrome with this enabled.
