WebGL clipspace point visualization

Above you should see a black square with a little crosshair. The crosshair marks a point in space. This is drawn with WebGL. You can change the position of the point using the sliders to the right, representing four components of the point called X, Y, Z, and W.

By playing around with these sliders, you can discover many things about WebGL!

I implemented the above with a passthrough vertex shader, which passes on the vertex attributes as the vertex position:

attribute vec4 coord;
void main(void) { 
  gl_Position = coord; 
}

Then, whenever the sliders change, I pass in the six vertices of a 3D crosshair:

function redraw() {
  gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array([
    pos.x-CROSSHAIR_SIZE,  pos.y,                 pos.z,                pos.w,
    pos.x+CROSSHAIR_SIZE,  pos.y,                 pos.z,                pos.w,
    pos.x,                 pos.y-CROSSHAIR_SIZE,  pos.z,                pos.w,
    pos.x,                 pos.y+CROSSHAIR_SIZE,  pos.z,                pos.w,
    pos.x,                 pos.y,                 pos.z-CROSSHAIR_SIZE, pos.w,
    pos.x,                 pos.y,                 pos.z+CROSSHAIR_SIZE, pos.w,
  ]), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
  
  gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
  gl.drawArrays(gl.LINES, 0, 6);
}

What can computers do? What are the limits of mathematics? And just how busy can a busy beaver be? This year, I’m writing Busy Beavers, a unique interactive book on computability theory. You and I will take a practical and modern approach to answering these questions — or at least learning why some questions are unanswerable!

After months of secret toil, I and Andrew Carr released Everyday Data Science, a unique interactive online course! You’ll make the perfect glass of lemonade using Thompson sampling. You’ll lose weight with differential equations. And you might just qualify for the Olympics with a bit of statistics!
