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.

Alright, this book? Totally worth it—especially if you’re into compute. Engaging. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. Nice little break from heavier stuff.

Dove into this one on ray-tracing and didn’t regret it. Interesting. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. I’d grab another book by this author.

Seriously, this book made my day. Especially since it focused on visualization. Refreshing. The tone was super inviting without dumbing things down. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. Definitely recommending this to a few people already.
