Latest release

v0.7.0 Released Monday, March 30, 2026

Highlights

  • Added overlay framework, annotation toolkit, and picking utilities.
  • Added 2D primitives and mathematical graphing primitives.
  • Added bounded scene/object framing and inspection views to the camera navigation subsystem.
  • Added a unified scale transform model shared across pointclouds, glyphfields, data materials, and computed statistics.
  • Changed frame and load pipelines to have greater performance by moving transform, culling, bounds, & glTF hot paths to the WebAssembly driver.

Overview

Built for high-performance applications

view_in_ar

WebGPU engine

Rendering paths are designed for modern pipeline management, batching, and scene throughput.

memory

WebAssembly driver

Hot paths for transforms, culling, and layout-sensitive logic execute in a memory-safe manner with Rust.

science

Scientific compute

Compute APIs include ndarray abstractions, reusable kernels library, and async readback support.

account_tree

Data-oriented design

Scene and transform systems are organized to keep memory access predictable at scale.

source

TypeScript and Rust

Double-brained architecture for a seamless combination of convenience and performance.

terminal

Python interoperability

Pyodide integration enables scientific programming to be enveloped within the browser.

bolt

SIMD128 vectorization

Performance-critical operations are optimized using SIMD128 instructions for higher throughput.

image

glTF 2.0

Built-in support for importing and rendering core glTF 2.0 assets with PBR and unlit materials.

api

Streamlined ergonomics

Develop powerful projects in a simple style without losing focus on boilerplate and baggage.
