Is 3D Finally Ready for the Web?

3D content still is not widely found on the Web. Now, though, several new technologies may widen 3D's presence on the Web by transforming browsers into computing platforms powerful enough to play the content.
Are web applications ready for parallelism?
PPoPP '15

In recent years, web applications have become pervasive. Their backbone is JavaScript, the only programming language supported by all major web browsers. Most browsers run on desktop or mobile devices with parallel hardware. However, JavaScript is by ...
