Google Launches 3D Graphics Driver Project for Chrome

,----[ Quote ]
| Google has launched a new project for 
| Chrome that will let the browser run a 
| wider range of 3D graphics content without 
| downloading additional drivers.
| 
| The open-source project, called ANGLE 
| (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine), 
| seeks to let Chromium run WebGL content on 
| Windows computers, wrote product manager 
| Henry Bridge on the Chromium blog.

Google Gets Into The 3D Driver Game

,----[ Quote ]
| To help out the adoption of WebGL, the 
| Khronos-backed API originally started by 
| Mozilla that seeks to let web developers 
| tap into modern graphics processors via the 
| web-browser natively, has caused Google to 
| get into the graphics driver game. WebGL 
| binds to OpenGL ES 2.0, and with the 
| Microsoft graphics drivers being more 
| DirectX-optimized rather than OpenGL, 
| Google's playing to Microsoft. Google wants 
| more users to be able to use WebGL, 
| particularly when running the Chrome 
| browser, so they have just announced the 
| Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine. The 
| objective of ANGLE is to just take the 
| subset of the OpenGL ES API exposed by 
| WebGL and to translate those extensions 
| into their DirectX 9.0c equivalents.
