Khronos Viewer Certification Program Brings Consistency to Virtual Products
 Khronos® announced the release of the 3D Commerce™ Viewer Certification program. 3D viewers are used by retailers, social media sites, and brands to create experiences on ecommerce storefronts, search engines, ad platforms, and in native applications. The Viewer Certification Program enables 3D viewers across the industry to demonstrate that they can accurately and consistently display 3D products, clearing the way for reliable 3D and AR-powered shopping across multiple platforms and devices.

W3C Posts First Public Working Drafts for WebGPU, WebGPU Shading Language
 WebGPU takes WebGL to the next level, providing a common abstraction over Vulkan, Metal and DirectX to leverage modern GPUs capabilities. W3C announced they have published the first public working drafts of the WebGPU Specification and WebGPU Shading Language.
WebGPU is derived from modern 3D/compute concepts but isn’t based directly on APIs like Vulkan or Direct3D, and unlike WebGL™ which is based on OpenGL® ES. WebGPU at this stage has broad industry support and interest and can be supported across all major platforms.
