WebGPU-powered educational space apps

Build interactive astronomy tools for students and hobbyists using WebGPU for smooth 3D rendering. Target educators and amateur astronomers who want accessible space visualization.

Why now

WebGPU is emerging as a performant alternative to WebGL, enabling richer browser-based 3D experiences without plugins.

Amateur astronomers and educators lack accessible tools for high-quality 3D space visualization in the browser.

A WebGPU-based app could render planetary systems, galaxies, or spacecraft trajectories with better performance than traditional WebGL solutions.

Schools and astronomy clubs would pay for classroom-ready tools that don't require expensive hardware or desktop software.

Start with a simple solar system viewer showing real-time planetary positions.

The risk is WebGPU adoption being slower than expected among mainstream browsers.
