Each educational application of 3D graphics will be unique, but what they have in common is their ability to be engaging and interactive. It was always a great moment as a teacher when my students would perform math calculations and then validate their results in a 3D graphics environment.

Education is evolving to keep in step with our students, who engage in social media, web, and mobile applications. Students of all ages and levels of education and training are familiar with 3D graphics for entertainment both in games and movies. WebGL therefore is a natural fit as an education resource.
