Hands-On WebAssembly for C++ Programmers - Experimenting with WebGL

The video tutorial introduces WebGL, a graphics library for web browsers that leverages hardware acceleration via the GPU. It explains how Emscripten supports OpenGL by converting it to WebGL for web assembly. The tutorial includes a walkthrough of a multitexturing example, demonstrating the process of compiling OpenGL code to WebGL using Emscripten. The video concludes with a brief explanation of the OpenGL code structure and its conversion to WebGL, emphasizing the capabilities of these technologies in web development.
