Data URI scheme

The data URI scheme is a uniform resource identifier (URI) scheme that provides a way to include data in-line in web pages as if they were external resources.

w-buffer vs z-buffer:

A z-buffer is a buffer the size of the screen which contains z values instead of colours. WHen a trangle is scan converted, it is also written to the z-buffer, and only the pixels of a triangle which have a z-value greater than the one in the buffer in that place will be displayed. One problem with the Z-Buffer is the accuracy is not very evenly distributed if you use the form of the Z-Buffer algorithm which uses linear interpolation to get the z value. This sometimes causes artifacts, ie stuff being in front of stuff it is behind. This can be made better by using a w-buffer, which uses the w value in the resulting matrix from the perspective transform, instead of the Z value. This improves the z-buffer and almost eliminates artifacts.

It’s not OOBB but just OOB (Oriented Bounding Box).

Updated to OBB thanks for the update
