2014 is the year WebGL tips. Do we need more proof than:
- Microsoft is on board, with WebGL in both desktop and mobile Internet Explorer.
- Amazon built WebGL into the Silk Browser and WebKit for Fire OS. At $229, the 7″ Kindle Fire HDX is probably the best multimedia device deal on the planet… thanks in part to WebGL.
- Sony built the whole PS4 user interface out of WebGL. 4.2M seats in one whack… and growing.
- The NORAD Tracks Santa site saw 48.8% WebGL success across all browsers & platforms for 20M visitors, an increase of 146% over 2012.
- And next week, we’ll be talking WebGL at one of the best-ever-attended SFHTML5 meetups. We broke the group’s record for wait list (over 500)!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you – then 3D is everywhere.
Whoops forgot to mention one other thing: Opera is building WebGL into Bang & Olufsen smart TVs. How cool is that?
Exciting news, i just read your profile and it seems like we have similar aim – find ways to share 3D across mobile and the web, in fact I’ve started a website for hosting content and designing shaders – early stages, but would appreciate your feedback.
It is really good start! This year is going to be awesome 🙂
Does mobile IE actually support WebGL yet? Is it going to be available same timeframe as desktop IE11?
