Efficient 3D graphics in React Native is now possible thanks to WebGPU, and it’s an opportunity you don't want to miss. While you may think of GPU as something challenging to handle, WebGPU, combined with tools like Three.js, Reanimated, and Worklets, makes breaking limits and achieving previously impossible become a reality.

WebGPU isn’t just about graphic, offering great computational power that can handle even AI computations directly within your React Native app. Moreover the ecosystem is rapidly evolving with solutions like TypeGPU, which are designed to help you navigate and feel at home in this exciting new space. If you're constantly seeking opportunities to make your app stand out and offer an unmatched, unique experience for your users, then this talk is for you.

High-level libraries like Three.js are great, but their abstractions bias your app toward a specific look. To build truly unique visual mechanics, you need to drop down to raw shaders. Iwo, lead developer of TypeGPU, will show how to write low-level GPU logic natively in TypeScript with strict type safety across the hardware boundary, and break down popular effects (rounded corners, edge detection, liquid glass, dithering) into reusable techniques.

Frameworks can use WebGPU today to improve the efficiency of rendering graphics or AI inference in cross-platform apps, but custom use cases often require interfacing directly with WebGPU. At Software Mansion, we are building a fully type-inferred library from the ground up called TypeGPU, which provides full access to the GPU through typed utilities.

Every want to build something but was told you shouldn't by "The Internet"? Me Too. Here's the story of how I chose to ignore those people and finally do the thing I've wanted to do since I was a kid, make a video game!
