Building an interactive WebGL experience in Next.js
Vercel engineers demonstrate how to create immersive 3D graphics using WebGL within Next.js applications, featuring a new open-source tool designed to optimize 3D rendering performance in the browser.
WebGL is a JavaScript API for rendering 3D graphics within a web browser, giving developers the ability to create unique, delightful graphics, unlike anything a static image is capable of. By leveraging WebGL, we were able to take what would have been a static conference signup and turned it into .the immersive Next.js Conf registration page
In this post, we will show you how to recreate the centerpiece for this experience using open-source WebGL tooling—including a new tool created by Vercel engineers to address performance difficulties around 3D rendering in the browser.
