The Web in Three Dimensions

This session provided an introduction to Three.js, a JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics on the web. We explored how modern browsers render 3D scenes and how developers can build interactive visual experiences. Key topics included accessing the GPU with WebGL and the upcoming WebGPU API, fundamental Three.js concepts like scenes, cameras, lights, meshes, and animations, and building interactive 3D web experiences. We also took a quick look at React Three Fiber (R3F) for creating 3D scenes with React components. The session was open to students, developers, and tech enthusiasts.
