Tomorrow's browser games may get a performance boost from DirectX and Vulkan
(PCWorld)

One of the big problems in gaming is incompatibility. A game written for Windows and DirectX won´t work on Macs or Android devices. Vulkan games work on Android, but not on Apple devices, which has its own Metal API. That´s one problem that standards-setting organization Khronos is looking to solve with the newly formed 3D Portability Exploratory Group. The group´s goal is to develop an interface so 3D games and content on the web perform better by hooking up seamlessly with Vulkan, DirectX, and Metal low-level APIs. The 3D API exploratory group has just been formed and still exploring the idea, and any solution is still a long time away. But the benefits would be massive: Web gaming would work better across multiple platforms and devices, and game development would be more efficient.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
