About This Book

WebGPU (Graphics and Compute) API is a powerful web-based resource that exposes the GPU hardware capabilities without the use of external libraries or plug-ins. This incredible API is part of a new standard that will be integrated into modern browsers - allowing GPU accelerated graphics such as ray-tracing. Real time ray-tracing has always been the holy grail of rendering. Delivering physically-accurate results by simulating how light rays bounce off and refract through objects in a scene. Ray-tracing has historically been slow, taking minutes or hours to render a single frame, so being able to get results in `real time' due to advancements in hardware accelerations and the WebGPU API promises to have a huge impact on web-based visualizations. This book introducing the reader (you) to ray-tracing and computer graphic concepts using the WebGPU graphics and compute API using simple tutorials and samples.

Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced professional seeking advanced knowledge, this book has something valuable to offer.

Dove into this one on graphics and didn’t regret it. Easy to follow. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. I’d grab another book by this author.
