That's tricky, because we can't directly access the local drivers to determine what hardware support there may be from the browser. You could look into WebGL feature sniffing to determine what transformations may be available. But I think setting up a bunch of elements on a page, applying a transform to each of them and seeing if it fires the transition when the page loads would prob be your easiest bet.

Safe to say you should prob get the specs of the machine that performed the transformation correctly and outline a spec sheet for users of the site that they need this type of hardware to use it completely. Might also see what the Modernizr team has been doing in terms of WebGL Feature detection. http://www.modernizr.com/

Thanks Brandtley.  This sounds more like what could be the problem.  I
guess the majority of users just aren't ready for this kind of
transformation yet.  Do you know of a way to detect capabilities of a
system so I can display another transition.

Many thanks.

Also depends how capable the hardware on the computer is. Some WebGL
features used for 3D Transformations are hardware specific and if the
GPU spec is too low, it may not support the particular featureset WebGL
pulls from in the system drivers.

I know many XP machines these days fall into this "low-end" category, so
if you can, try updating the graphics drivers and see where that gets you.

     Hi all
     I have the wierdest problem!
     I have a 3D transformation going on with a form that flips over like a
     card to reveal another form.  This works perfectly on my computer that
     is running XP and the latest version of Chrome.
     However, on another computer in the office, running the same version
     of XP and the same version of chrome, it appears that the -backface-
     visibility rule isn't working.  I don't even know where to start being
     that the two systems are identical in OS and Browser.
     Does anyone have any idea what this could be.
     Thanks
