ActiveWebGL - Web Graphics Library
WebGL (Web Graphics Library): a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 3D graphics in compatible browsers without the use of plug-ins. WebGL programs consist of code written in JavaScript and shader code executed on a computer's [Graphics Processing Unit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit) (GPU). WebGL is designed and maintained by the non-profit [Khronos Group](https://khronos.org/).
