Indeed, very cool!

I've toyed with the idea of making a webgl version of rviz so that you can
just open up a web browser and control your robot without needing to
install ROS or even linux on your computer.  I just tested this app on the
latest version of chrome for android on a nexus 10 and Razr and it worked
pretty well even! I can't move the 'camera' by touching and dragging but I
can manipulate the joint angles and such.

I think this just hit my todo list. :)
