It's a very nice demonstration. Very pleasant and aesthetically pleasing.
I don't know that the title here is really quite right. "Demo" is probably closer to what this is, maybe "Interactive Animation". When I think of a simulation I'm typically thinking of some effort around achieving realism and a much higher degree of freedom of action. This isn't an effort to achieve any of that. This is an artistic impression of such a trip. I can interact with it, but there is very little freedom of choice. Also the rendering is "drawn" 2D.
> Short Trip is the first instalment in a collection of interactive illustrations created for the web. It has been created as a study into capturing the essence of graphite on paper within a digital context, and to learn more about web-based graphics technologies. Short Trip will run on most devices supporting WebGL, including mobile devices.

> Due to the current limitations of both WebGL technologies and my understanding of them, there’s bound to be issues found here and there. If you’ve found something particularly odd and have a spare few minutes it would be greatly appreciated if you tell me about it here. At the moment there’s a few known issues particularly relating to Android support. I hope that these will improve with time.
