What is WebGPU?

In this video, we will go over everything you need to know about WebGPU. We’ll start with a history lesson on the state of 3D computer graphics. Then, we will learn what WebGPU is and how it’s different from WebGL. After that, we will look at how big tech companies like Adobe, AutoDesk, Apple, Google, and OpenAI are investing in WebGPU. Finally, we go over how you can start learning WebGPU today.
