Fantastic project and front page. I'm sorry I have nothing to add, I'm just amazed be the effort, and how smooth, fast and straightforward it all is presented.
This is awesome. I didn't realise OSM even had such detailed data on building shapes. As others have noted, outside (or on the outskirts of) major cities the data is quite sparse but central London, for example, looks great.
Yeah, the OSM data seems really complete for some cities. Co-incidentally, I've recently been putting together some 3D GIS visualisation stuff using OSM data.
Try zooming in to pretty much any capital city, then use the right mouse button to rotate the viewpoint so the 3D shows up properly:
As a data point, holding down the shift key + using the arrow keys at the same time also works for moving the camera viewpoint. It's not as fine grained as the right mouse button, but it works "well enough" as an alternative for setups without a right mouse button. :)
Works in FF for me. It's rather resource hungry, maybe an OOM? Judging from RAM consumption I'm guessing it doesn't utilise GPU, but maybe it does and didn't fit in mine.
Same for me. I get the following messages in the console:

In case one of the developers is reading, small-ish bug: I increased the vertical field of view "all the way" to 120 degrees. When in "morning" mode, there is a rectangular "shade" over the right bottom corner of the screen. When in "evening" mode it is in the left bottom quarter. (At least on my MBP with Chrome.)

I think version 3 is now in beta and last I checked they even covered remote areas and alp huts: https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/landscape-model-swissbuild...
For CubeTrek, however, I needed some kind of dataset with global coverage, that's why I settled in SRTM data.
What kind of format is it?
Edit: did you mean GPX files? Yes! And FIT files.

That's just a temporary domain and an in-development project, but (to me) it seems to be working pretty well. Can build applications on top of this.
