What is WebGPU?
WebGPU is a next-generation graphics and compute API for the web, enabling developers to leverage modern GPU capabilities directly in browsers. Unlike WebGL, WebGPU provides lower-level access to GPU hardware, enabling high-performance applications like 3D rendering, machine learning, and real-time video processing.
Hardware Acceleration
Direct access to GPU resources for maximum performance
Cross-Platform
Works on all modern browsers and operating systems
Future-Ready
Built on modern graphics APIs like Vulkan and Metal
Interactive Demo
WebGPU Canvas
Real-time rendering powered by WebGPU
3D Rendering
Create interactive 3D scenes with complex lighting, shadows, and physics.
Compute Shaders
Use GPU compute capabilities for tasks like image processing and AI inference.
Real-World Applications
3D Modeling Tools
Real-time collaboration and rendering of complex 3D models in web browsers.
AI/ML Inference
Accelerate machine learning operations using GPU compute units.
Video Conferencing
Real-time video processing for AR/VR meetings and spatial audio.
