+
+This is an idiomatic Rust wrapper over [wgpu-native](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu). It's designed to be suitable for general purpose graphics and computation needs of Rust community. It currently only works for the native platform, in the future aims to support WASM/Emscripten platforms as well.

+
+## Usage
+
+The library requires one of the following features enabled in order to run any of the examples:
+  - "vulkan"
+  - "metal"
+  - "dx12"
+  - "dx11"
+
+These examples assume that necessary dependencies for the graphics backend are already installed. For more information about installation and usage, refer to the [Getting Started](https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx/blob/master/info/getting_started.md) gfx-rs guide.
