WebGL Summary

WebGL, also known as Web Graphic Library, is a programming interface that allows a person to render both 3D and 2D graphics in any web browser.  The program offloads the work to the computer's GPU because it is completely integrated.  It is based in Javascript, but the user can input HTML code into the program as well.  This program was created by the Khronos group.  They are a non-profit organization.  They based their program off the OpenGL which uses 3D graphics.  That program was used heavily for computer games in the 90s, because of its ease of use and access.  In 2009, the Khronos group created the standard WebGL to create a standard of rendering on the web that hadn't been seen before.  As mentioned before, WebGL functions in all web browsers.  Because of the creation of the WebGL, websites can create excellent games and render fantastic 3D effects by utilizing the computer's more powerful GPU.
