Description

Currently, mat.js relies on naive, un-optimized code ported from Java to for use throughout the libraries. We should look into porting some of this code to rely on optimized, high performance code. If anyone has any Javascript libraries they would like to recommend, please list them here.

Research direction
Investigate the current mat.js implementation in WebGazer to identify slow operations. Research JavaScript libraries for linear algebra and OpenGL acceleration, such as glMatrix or Three.js. Evaluate performance benefits and propose a porting strategy. Engage with community comments for library recommendations.
