WebGL Draft Specification Released!

WebGL allows 3D graphics to be displayed on a web browser without the need for additional plugins or licensing through the canvas element.

The Kronos Group consortium who are responsible for creating the open standard API have now officially released a draft specification of WebGL which is well worth a read to find out the future of 3D on the web.

The new spec changes the canvas context name from moz-webgl (for Firefox) or webkit-3d (for Safari/Chrome) to  experimental-webgl. The nightly builds for Firefox and Webkit have been updated – so these changes should be reflected in the next versions of these browsers.
