Building Seamless Page Transitions with WebGPU and Vanilla JavaScript
By
By Ben Paine
Summary
A step-by-step tutorial by creative developer Ben Paine demonstrating how to build seamless, GPU-powered page transitions using WebGPU (or WebGL) combined with a persistent 3D scene, DOM tracking, and a lightweight vanilla JavaScript router. The technique eliminates the browser's DOM state "popping" by maintaining one continuous scene, creating smooth transitions that improve user experience.

· 4 pulledI am going to demonstrate how to create unique page transitions using WebGPU.
I have found that page transitions, when done right, exponentially improves the user experience.
The reason I utilize WebGPU is to essentially eliminate the perception of the browser 'popping' the DOM state.
With one continuous scene, we can trick the user experience to seamlessly transition.
