WebGL - Boosting 3D Graphics Hardware Acceleration in Web Browsers
What is WebGL?
WebGL, also known as Web Graphics Library, is a JavaScript API enabling web browsers to render 2D or 3D graphics without the need for plugins. WebGL is developed by combining JavaScript and Shader code, executed by the GPU. The Khronos Group is responsible for the development and maintenance of WebGL.
WebGL is developed based on OpenGL ES 2.0 and utilizes HTML5 elements. The WebGL 1.0 version was released in March 2011. Some of the first applications to use WebGL include Google Maps and Zygote Body. Autodesk has also migrated many of their applications to cloud storage services, running on local WebGL systems.
Furthermore, some browsers that support WebGL include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, and various other mobile browsers such as Opera Mobile, WebOS, and Ubuntu Touch.
