/*

Update 05 june: 

- Got the 3D buttons working in Firefox by adding "transform-style: preserve-3d" to some elements. Without it the translateZ transforms will not work in FF.
- Added sides and a backside to make a full rotation possible

Update 11 june:
- smoothed the animation
- added a shadow (best viewed in Chrome with blur/filter support)

Update 13 june:
- tilting directional buttons
