spark.js GLTF Demo: Real-Time Texture Transcoding for Faster Asset Delivery
A GLTF viewer that ships textures as compact WebP or AVIF, then transcodes them to GPU-compressed formats in the browser. Small downloads, efficient VRAM. Spark.js handles the conversion so you get the best of both worlds.

curtains.js: DOM-Driven WebGL Textured Planes
Martin Laxenaire's lightweight WebGL library that converts HTML elements into shader-driven textured planes positioned exactly where your CSS says they should be. Write normal markup, add shaders, skip the coordinate math.

Ameen Abdullah's Portfolio Turns the Browser Into a Stage
A WebGPU sakura scene anchors the hero, Vue drives the page, and a second WebGL layer paints mini scenes into textures aligned with the DOM. Off-screen blocks pause their work. Subtitles arrive in Japanese. A portfolio that behaves like a place rather than a CV.

Evian's Bicentennial WebGPU World, Where Rain Runs Downhill
Evian's 200th turned into an alpine scene that hands everything to the GPU: rain that lands on peaks and streaks down the slopes, one wind texture every object obeys, lightning generated fresh on each strike, and 20,000 particles colliding against an SDF instead of meshes.

Shader Lab: Stack, Animate, and Export GPU Shaders in the Browser
A layered shader compositor that runs on WebGPU. Stack gradients, text, and TSL passes, then bend them through a CRT layer that models phosphor smear and channel convergence. Write shaders as node graphs, keyframe the knobs, and export the whole thing into React.

Google Introduces HTML-in-Canvas API: Accessible UI Meets WebGL / WebGPU
At Google I/O 2026, Chrome engineer Thomas Nattestad unveiled the HTML-in-Canvas API, which is a new web platform feature that lets developers render HTML elements directly into canvas, WebGL, and WebGPU contexts while preserving accessibility and interactivity.

Crystal Words: A Snowflake for Every Word You Type
Type a word. Watch it break into a six-fold ice lattice and hang in the air like a frozen sentence. Crystal Words is a small WebGL piece by Ming Jyun Hung that grows a structurally unique snowflake from whatever you put into the keyboard.

Chrome 149-150 Brings Immediates to WebGPU
Chrome 149-150 adds WebGPU immediates, tightens transient attachment validation, and continues Dawn cleanup work. Small changes, but useful ones for developers pushing many tiny per-draw updates.

Semantic Globe: A WebGPU Earth That Understands Plain English
Type a vibe like "somewhere cold and lonely" and watch a 3D Earth pin the answer. The text embeddings and the planet shaders share one GPU in one browser tab, no server in the loop. Joshua Lochner's quiet flex of what WebGPU can do when nobody is looking.

LFM2-MoE: An 8.3B Parameter Language Model Running Entirely in Your Browser via WebGPU
Liquid AI's LFM2-MoE loads 8.3B parameters (1.5B active) and generates text client-side through WebGPU. No server, no API key. A hybrid convolution-attention architecture running Mixture-of-Experts inference in a browser tab, powered by Transformers.js.

gpu-curtains: A WebGPU 3D Engine That Syncs Shaders to Your DOM
Martin Laxenaire rebuilt his DOM-to-shader library for WebGPU, and this time it's a full 3D engine. Lights, shadows, compute shaders, glTF support, and the same trick that made curtains.js useful: your HTML elements become shader geometry that scrolls and resizes like native DOM.

WebHeat: GPU-Powered Thermal Simulation for Any STL File
A high school senior learned Newton's law of cooling in class, then built a full thermal simulation in the browser. Drop in any STL, watch heat propagate through voxelized geometry on the GPU. WebGPU compute shaders, React frontend, and a useRef trick that keeps it all from falling apart.

WebGPU Water Simulation: Porting a Piece of Graphics History
The 2011 demo that helped inspire Figma gets a WebGPU rewrite. Ripples, caustics, raytraced reflections, and a bobbing sphere, all running on modern GPU APIs. Yong Su's port is a case study in what it takes to cross the WebGL-to-WebGPU bridge.

The Globe of Economic Complexity: Visualizing $15 Trillion in World Trade
Harvard's WebGL experiment animates 153,000 particles to map global exports. Each dot = $100M. Built with Three.js, it's a masterclass in data viz that's begging for a modern remake with up-to-date capabilities and data.
