Ars Technica is reporting that the Khronos Group, the organization responsible for the development of WebGL, released the WebGL provisonal public draft specification early last week, marking an important milestone in standardizing what is shaping up to be a truly cutting edge web technology.
For those unfamiliar, WebGL is a cross-platform and royalty free web standard for a low-level 3D graphics API based on OpenGL ES 2.0 that offers a way to render 3D graphics in the browser without requiring plugins such as Adobe’s Flash (which is coming to webOS next year) and Microsoft’s Silverlight. Since webOS is based largely on web technologies, and applications are essentially web apps, this bodes well for Palm’s platform.
We’ve seen some amazing things done with the technology prior to the draft specification being released. We have a couple of demos (in Flash, not webGL 
) after the break!
