System Requirements
WebGPU Required: Hyperscape requires WebGPU for rendering. WebGL is NOT supported.
- Chrome 113+ (recommended)
- Edge 113+
- Safari 18+ (macOS 15+ only)
Check Compatibility: Visit webgpureport.org to verify your browser/GPU supports WebGPU.
Why WebGPU?: All shaders use TSL (Three Shading Language), which only works with WebGPU. There is no WebGL fallback.
