Submit a proposal for a talk at 3D on the Web!

We are seeking short talks, demos, and presentations that showcase real world use of #WebGL, #WebGPU, #glTF, and #Gaussian Splatting on the web for the 3D on the Web special event during the week of GDC.

To submit a 10 minute talk or demo, please email your description to events@khronosgroup.org

The Khronos Group announces a release candidate for the KHR_gaussian_splatting baseline extension. This extension enables storing 3D Gaussian splats in glTF 2.0, the most widely adopted 3D asset delivery format.

Khronos Group's Dennis Fu presented at this year's Huawei Developer Conference held in Songshan Lake, China. Dennis gave two presentations: AR/VR for OpenXR and Graphics and Gaming for Vulkan/glTF.

TinyBVH has been updated to 1.5.6 on the main branch. This release brings two new examples:
* Minimal OpenGL / compute shader traversal example
* OpenCL TLAS/BLAS 'tinyscene' demo (see video).
Example 2 uses Lighthouse 2 scene data with materials and full GLTF animation.
