GPU for the Web Community Group Proposed

The GPU for the Web Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

The mission of the GPU on the Web Community Group is to provide an
interface between the Web Platform and modern 3D graphics and
computation capabilities present in native system platforms. The goal is
to design a new Web API that exposes these modern technologies in a
performant, powerful and safe manner. It should work with existing
platform APIs such as Direct3D 12 from Microsoft, Metal from Apple, and
Vulkan from the Khronos Group. This API will also expose the generic
computational facilities available in today's GPUs to the Web, and
investigate shader languages to produce a cross-platform solution.
Please see the  draft charter . The group is inviting browser engine
developers, GPU hardware vendors, 3D software engineers, as well as the
broader Web community who have an interest in 3D graphics and efficient
computation to participate.

--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#gpu

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org.

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
