WebGL
WebGL takes OpenGL (or specifically, OpenGL ES Version 2.0) to the Internet by adding high-performance, 3D rendering within HTML5’s Canvas element. Virtually all functions from OpenGL ES Version 2.0 are available in their exact form, except for small changes necessitated because of its JavaScript interface.
This section provides a brief introduction to WebGL through a simple example, which works natively in all modern Web browsers (except Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which requires a plug-in for support). Our example focuses exclusively on rendering; event processing and user interaction aren’t discussed.
