WebGL
Browser 3D rendering
WebGL is a JavaScript API that renders interactive 2D and 3D graphics in web browsers without plugins.
It runs directly in the browser using the device's graphics hardware, enabling games, data visualizations, and immersive experiences on web pages: The site uses WebGL for its 3D product viewer.
Based on OpenGL ES, WebGL works across modern browsers and platforms.
