Browser Hub Demo
WebGPU API
WebGPU is the path from lightweight web previews to serious in-browser production tools: image effects, material previews, generative canvases, and 3D/editor workflows can move closer to native-app performance.
GPU-accelerated production
What this unlocks
Use the browser’s modern GPU pipeline for heavier visual computation, rendering, and media effects without installing native software. Available in modern Chromium-based browsers and expanding across platforms. Unsupported browsers should fall back to Canvas, WebGL, or server-side processing.
Use cases
Real product scenarios
These are the kinds of workflows where the API earns its complexity.
Accelerate image and video preview effects in Production Studio.
WebGPU API helps when the browser needs to move beyond plain navigation and forms.
Render richer material, lighting, and particle previews for World Studio.
WebGPU API helps when the browser needs to move beyond plain navigation and forms.
Run local visual analysis and shader experiments without uploading assets first.

Shipping notes
Progressive enhancement rules
Browser capability work is product design work. Support levels, permissions, secure context requirements, and fallback behavior matter as much as the demo itself.
Always detect adapter and device availability before showing GPU workflows.
Available in modern Chromium-based browsers and expanding across platforms. Unsupported browsers should fall back to Canvas, WebGL, or server-side processing.
Keep workloads bounded, cancelable, and respectful of battery and thermals.

Provide Canvas or WebGL fallback paths for unsupported browsers.
