Polyfill and three.js(>r160) integration - Demo -

webxr?

Palash Bansal7 months ago

It renders to a canvas so rendering would work that can be used in webxr. For interaction some ui, some raycast might have to be done.

freakin sweet!

Corey Hackworth7 months ago

this is so cool. the ability to easily do real work with text (and I would imagine, CSS) inside the canvas this way has incredible potential.

Whhhhhhaaat?! Bro, you win. Not sure what (obviously all the cred), but you win. If this is as advertised, that is so incredibly impressive and a fucking gigantic win for the dev community at large. You're a man of the people 🫡

What about performance?

Palash Bansal6 months ago

Depends on the complexity, you can try out the link on your device, it's not bad.

Yuri6 months ago

I would say not bad, ofc not native as this is html -> svg -> texture, but impressive man!

Isn‘t HTML in Canvas the perfect technology to phish people? 😬

Palash Bansal6 months ago

How would that work?

Tuan Anh Bui6 months ago

Hm, good question. Thinking more thoroughly, maybe it actually doesn't introduce new attack vectors that already exist.

A visual comparison of HTML-in-Canvas vs rasterizing DOM to a canvas texture (side-by-side below, compare average capture times) Existing approaches to pull web content into canvas are slow and lossy: - Animations glitch, or don't play at all - CSS replication is imprecise - Clogs up the main thread, other animations lag HTML-in-Canvas (texElementImage2D) lets the browser's own compositor map CSS layouts, animations, and transitions precisely into canvas/WebGL textures — one native call instead of thousands of JS style reads. It's currently available behind an experimental Chrome flag. Really cool, and I can't wait for it to become mainstream.

VFX-JS supports HTML-in-Canvas now. You can turn HTML element into a WebGL texture. It automatically detects the browser and fallback to the old SVG foreignObject workaround. So it works on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, of course! #WebGL #VFXJS #Codepen

These are real WebGL shaders on top of interactive DOM elements without the HTML-in-Canvas API (works in Safari too). There’re rough edges still but worth sharing:

$Google has solved a 20-year-old web problem.. It's called html-in-canvas, a new experimental Chrome feature that renders live HTML directly as a 3D texture. here's what it does: → draws any DOM element (dashboards, forms, entire app UIs) straight into a canvas → full CSS still works, flexbox, grid, shadows, backdrop-filter, animations → text stays selectable, inputs stay typeable, screen readers still see it → auto syncs with your DOM on every paint → pipes into any WebGL shader → distort, curl, refract, warp the wildest part: someone already built an html-cloth plugin that turns your live UI into simulated fabric.$

Been testing GPT 5.5 and it's implemented the HTML-in-Canvas spec Worked for both WebGL and WebGPU out of the box Then created this demo with the PixiJS + GSAP Skills Hopefully there will soon be no excuses to make boring websites

Got a 24GB Graphics Card? These 6 coding models all fit on it (Q4): - qwen3.5:27b (17GB) - qwen3.5:35b (24GB) - glm-4.7-flash (19GB) - nemotron-3-nano:30b (24GB) - nemotron-cascade-2:30b (24GB) - gpt-oss:20b (14GB) I gave them the same challenge: draw a campfire with HTML Canvas. Why Canvas? HTML/CSS forgives bad syntax — things still render. JavaScript + Canvas doesn't — one mistake and the screen goes black.
