…one the most amazing and unexpected announcements of the whole keynote came for me in a WPF demo towards the end.
In an update to WPF that should be available some time this summer, we’re going to get SHADER SUPPORT in WPF.
Yes, that kind of shader.
It was demoed during the keynote with some custom shaders being applied to WPF content (including UI elements) presented in 3D.
WPF team, I love you guys.
