WebGL stands for Web Graphics Library. WebGL is a technology that allows for the rendering of 3D graphics in real-time, directly within your browser. It is an image library that is programmed with Java enabling greater usage of a computer's Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to display the graphics without the need for downloading more plugins. WebGL is a popular medium with advertisers creating engaging visuals for a target audience. GoogleMaps is an early example of WebGL technology at work.
Some limitations for WebGL exist at this time which can prevent access for some users and audiences, but with technology advances on the web this lack of access should be short lived. The major limiting factors come in to play with people who use older computers or web browsers to access the internet. WebGL requires HTML 5 and a reasonable GPU. Users operating with Internet Explorer versions prior to IE11 (released 17 October 2013) will have issues using WebGL. Those using browsers such as Mozilla and Chrome should be good to go.
