Using WebGL in your app
The HTML5 Canvas API allows you to draw in only two dimensions. Using Web Graphics Library (WebGL), you can show interactive 2D graphics and 3D graphics within any modern web browser (Internet Explorer 11 has only partial support for WebGL) without the use of plugins. WebGL elements are drawn on a canvas element, and can be combined with other HTML elements. Programs that use WebGL are a mixture of Dart (or JavaScript) code for control, and are of specific WebGL shader code. This shader code is executed on the computer's Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), allowing GPU-accelerated usage of physics effects and image processing as part of the web page canvas, so we have real parallel processing here!
