Call For Book Chapters (WebGPU Gems)

The call for book chapters is now OPEN

Title of Book: WebGPU Gems

Introduction

Researchers and developers are increasingly using web-based tools for applications, data-processing, graphics, games and simulating complex systems and phenomena. Traditional web-based GPU API have been limited and were not sufficient for the grand-challenges of problems ahead. Through the new WebGPU API developers, scientists and engineers would be able to enhance not only the scalability but also the performance of web-based solutions. While the WebGPU is still in the early days of finalization, it has already achieved remarkable progress and could further realize other research areas. The WebGPU API holds great promise towards overcoming barriers of web-based application complexity and computational cost. To advance the WebGPU landscapes and evolving user needs this book was proposed. This realization is motivated by the need for an edited collection of original projects/research works to showcase the broad range of possible solutions; as well as how they could leverage one another in a concerted and complementary way. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• XR/AR/VR/MR
• Geometric Models
• Graphical Effects
• Rendering Techniques
• Image Effects
• Physics Simulations
• General GPU Computing/Processing
• Machine Learning
• Shaders (WGSL)
• Compute Algorithms
• Distributed (Connected) Network Solutions
• Video Games
• Data Processing
