Earthquake Pulse Map: A Century of Seismic Activity on a WebGL Globe
A Three.js globe plotting 120+ years of major earthquakes with custom GLSL shaders, binary-packed data, and live USGS feeds. Spin, zoom, and scrub through time. The tectonic boundaries light up whether you're ready or not.

In The Clouds: Tallest Buildings as 40-Meter Blocks
The world's tallest buildings rendered as stacked 40-meter blocks in Three.js. One block equals four floors. Pure client-side WebGL with procedural geometry. No map tiles, just height data and math.

Kiomet: A Real-Time Multiplayer Strategy Game Built With Rust and WebGL
Kiomet drops you into a live hex-grid battlefield with dozens of players, 27 tower types, and zero installs. The whole stack is Rust compiled to WebAssembly, rendered through WebGL with custom GLSL shaders. Open source and running in a browser tab.

gpu-curtains: A WebGPU 3D Engine That Syncs Shaders to Your DOM
Martin Laxenaire rebuilt his DOM-to-shader library for WebGPU, and this time it's a full 3D engine. Lights, shadows, compute shaders, glTF support, and the same trick that made curtains.js useful: your HTML elements become shader geometry that scrolls and resizes like native DOM.

Hydra: A Livecoded Video Synth Built on WebGL Framebuffers
Olivia Jack's Hydra turns the browser into a modular video synth. Chain oscillators, kaleidoscopes, and webcam feeds into recursive GLSL patches, then pipe the output to another browser over WebRTC. Type a function, hit Ctrl+Enter, watch the pixels misbehave.

Find Your Way to Oz: The 2013 Chrome Experiment
UNIT9 built a full Kansas carnival in WebGL for Disney, then destroyed it with a tornado shader borrowed from neuroscience. No physics engine. No framework. Just clever faking, spatial audio, and a three-month deadline. The source is open.
