Embracing WebGPU and WebXR With Three.js
summary
Three.js reports ~14 years of work with almost 2,000 contributors and demonstrates concrete pieces: a new WebGPU renderer with WebGL2 fallback that aims for drop-in replacement, a TSL node-based shader language that generates WGSL or GLSL and enables tree-shaking and procedural infinite-resolution textures, a browser path tracer that converges after the camera stops, and WebXR features like hand tracking plus mesh detection and depth sensing that produce usable occlusion and geometry in practice.
