OPPORTUNITIES OF WEBGL AND INTERACTIVE 3D VISUALIZATION IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING GRAPHICS

Abstract

This article analyzes the opportunities and challenges associated with WebGL and interactive 3D visualization in engineering graphics. Through a review of recent literature, evaluation of leading frameworks, and analysis of educational and industrial case studies, the research demonstrates how WebGL-based visualization tools enhance accessibility, interactivity, and pedagogical effectiveness in both classroom and professional environments. Key findings highlight improvements in student engagement, collaborative design review, and remote access to complex models, while acknowledging persistent technical and organizational barriers. The article concludes that WebGL and interactive 3D visualization are central to the digital transformation of engineering graphics, with broad implications for education, industry, and workforce development.
