Spector.js

Easily explore and debug any WebGL context.

Spector.js is a powerful Chrome extension designed for developers working with WebGL and WebGL2 contexts. It allows you to easily explore, analyze, and debug any WebGL frame by providing detailed information and a history of how each frame was constructed. Compatible with major 3D engines, Spector.js captures command lists and visual states to help identify bugs or redundant rendering processes. This tool streamlines the debugging process, enabling developers to optimize their WebGL applications efficiently and effectively.
