WebGPU isn't just a next gen thing - it's not the future - it's not even a niche little API that is only needed for small tasks - it's the here and now - it's an integral part of the web and is changing high-performance and compute applications everywhere! The eyes are the doorway to the soul! They let us see meaning in data that goes far beyond what we words or equations could communicate; Our mind is 'visual' computer - even as children we visually! Visual communication shouldn't be hindered by complex data or web-based solutions. Develop custom visualizations that have NO limits. Real-Time Ray-Tracing using Vulkan's Extension is a Game Changer! The latest hardware has unlocked ray-tracing so that it can now be used by anyone and for anything - from games and editors to videos and simulators. This book introduces the concepts of ray-tracing (including procedural concepts) before moving onto the challenge of explainining the Vulkan API Extensions which make it possible to run ray-tracing in real-time.
