Computer animation and graphics are now prevalent in everyday life from the computer screen, to the movie screen, to the smart phone screen. The growing excitement about WebGL applications and their ability to integrate HTML5, inspired the authors to exclusively use WebGL in the 7th Edition of Interactive Computer Graphics with WebGL. This is the only introduction to computer graphics text for undergraduates that fully integrates WebGL and emphasises application-based programming. The top-down, programming-oriented approach allows for coverage of engaging 3D material early in the course so students immediately begin to create their own 3D graphics.

Eric Schenk is CTO of EA's central technology group EATech, where he steers the strategic direction of EA's central technology. Eric holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Toronto, where he focused on the theory of parallel and distributed computing. After completing his Ph.D. he spent time teaching and doing research at Lund University in Sweden, before leaving academia for the computer games industry in 1997. He is a past co-maintainer of the Linux kernel networking code, and started in the games industry doing research and implementations of network protocols for games. As part of his role in R&D in the games industry, he was an Adjunct Professor at Simon Fraser University from 1998 to 2001. Since joining Electronic Arts in late 1998, he has done work in several areas including: R&D for networking protocols; leading the development of a cross platform graphics library used in many previous generation EA games; chief architect and group technical director for the central technology group; and most recently his current role. He is currently most interested in finding ways to lower the long term cost of developing games and in how to effectively write games that take advantage of highly concurrent hardware.
Kari Pulli is a Research Fellow and Member of CEO Technology Council at Nokia Research Center Palo Alto. Kari has worked in computer graphics since 1989, when he started working on his Master's project, a parallel graphics system running on transputers. Kari has a PhD in graphics and vision from University of Washington, Seattle, and worked during grad school on graphics at Microsoft / SoftImage, SGI, and Alias Wavefront. He worked at Stanford University graphics lab 1998-99, and joined Nokia in 1999, where he has worked on research and technology of mobile graphics and imaging, contributing to many Khronos standards and M3G (Mobile 3D Graphics for Java). In 2004-06 he was a visiting scientist at MIT.
