3D Graphics have come to the browser and this represents a new world of possibilities. WebGL has a reputation for a high entry barrier, but fortunately there are already some frameworks out there making things simpler. We’ll cover some of the WebGL basics and show you what to look for in a framework for 3D graphics in the browser. You’ll also meet PhiloGL, a WebGL framework focused on data visualization, creative coding and game development from Sencha Labs. Prepare to watch cool 3D demos!
