WebGL

HTML 5 has introduced us to the Canvas API, 2D graphics and the pleasures of plugin-free video and audio playback. One of the next hurdles we will face is native support for 3D graphics for simulations, visualizations and games.

WebGL is an early look at supporting OpenGL ES 2.0 in the canvas in most modern browsers through JavaScript APIs.

This will be an example-driven workshop that will cover the basics of 3D graphics, OpenGL and where it is going on the Web.
