Google in Beta Phase with WebGL 3D graphics API for JavaScript
WebGL, based on the OpenGL ES 2.0 API for embedded, accelerated 3D graphics, is the first to bring hardware-accelerated 3D graphics to the browser without adding more software, according to the announcement from Google. "WebGL is a 3D graphics API for JavaScript that developers can use to create fully 3D Web apps."
Kenneth Russell, from the Google Chromium Team, stated in a recent blog that "Google, Mozilla, Apple, Opera, and graphics hardware vendors have been working together to standardize WebGL for over a year now, and since the spec is just about final at this point, we wanted to get our implementation out there for feedback."
