2.3.4 supported WebGL technology

What is WebGL?
Before going to the actual demo of the internal prototype project, let’s take a brief look at the technology behind it. WebGL is a low-level API JavaScript API defined by the Khronos Group. The API is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 and enables support for 3D graphics. WebGL enables application developers to take advantage of capabilities provided by graphical processor units which is a standard component on all modern smartphones. For end users this means that they will be able to enjoy more interactive and responsive applications without any installing any plug-in modules in the web browser.

Even if WebGL is not ratified by Khronos Group as an official standard yet, support for WebGL has been available for some time. Beta implementations have been made in several modern desktop browsers, and there are several demo applications available on the web, for example the Google Body Browser. However, the availability of WebGL support for smartphones has so far been very limited.

WebGL for Android
Sony Ericsson has, for some time, been driving an internal research project to explore the possibilities with WebGL. The project has used the same hardware used for Xperia™ arc and Xperia™ PLAY, and implemented the bindings between the Android Webkit based browser and the OpenGL API supported by the Android platform.
