These examples are amazing, though compute heavy and built with WebGL, which is less than an ideal fit for it. This website and project have been around for a couple of years, and the web's graphics capabilities have grown since, bumped up significantly by the introduction of WebGPU. And since Firefox introduced support for it in 141 on Windows, and 145 on macOS (see wiki tracking implementation here: https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/Implementation-Status), it now also enjoys broad cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, with Linux trailing a bit behind).

I've recently written about another compute heavy global illumination approach, which is all but impossible to pull off using WebGL: https://juretriglav.si/surfel-based-global-illumination-on-t...

After this experiment (and some that are in progress), and some very recent movement on raising the bound storage buffer limit in Chrome (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/366151398), I can't help but feel that we're on the cusp of an AAA-level experience built exclusively on the web. I'm super excited for the future of computer graphics right in your browser.
