[x3d-public] WASM/WASI for C/C++ VRML browsers on the web.

[GL]

A Rust WebGPU implementation may get us closer to the Vulkan goal I have stated than WebGL though. I am trying to project into the future as far as I can conceive. Gina-Lauren

The proof is in the pudding.  Unity and Unreal apps have been ported.  WASI is similar to POSIX, but converted to use capabilities.   WASI is pretty much core services right now.  I believe webgl is ported.

John,

Q. would FreeWRL work in WASM/WASI?

-Doug Sanden

freewrl:

- mostly flat C

- depends on several (Linux type) libs

- opengl graphics (with #ifdef configurations for GLES2 / opengl 2.1 subset)

- #ifdef configurations parameters to reduce functionality when lib is not available

? how would javascript work - would it continue depending on desktop lib or need a new interface to use web javascript

Is anyone considering WASM/WASI for bringing C/C++ VRML browsers (OpenInventor, etc.) to the web?  Let me know.

 

I would like to participate if possible.

 

John
