Avatars are an integral part of any social portal. It is important for people to see the person they are interacting with, photography creates a personal connection and enhances the user experience. But what if we go further and use AI and WebGL to turn every user photo into an interactive 3D avatar?

Crimeans just asked for the same right against Ukraine as Ukrainians asked against Russia. And it was direction population liked most. The same asked east of Ukraine which is at war now. This is how "soft power" works in these countries with a little help from western friends.

Kiev is indeed awesome place to visit however you should be a desperate guy to move there not being slav.

Exactly. Non profit organizations could benefit most of all here saving on infrastructure.

NATs are pain. True.

And also I agree that there were a lot of problems to work around and benefits are not that obvious if application size is 3 Mb. However it becomes closer to real life with every additional megabyte of application size. E.g. for video content it definitely worth and it also could work for web games and VR experiences. Other cases? Sure there are some. Let`s consider this as first Viral JavaScript implementation.

polymer-native is currently under active development and available on github

This is even easier with polymer or web components since you can use them in any template or jsx as simple as you put there regular HTML tags

The only bottleneck here is rasterization which we are trying to solve by making native Rasterization API live. You can read about here http://pixelscommander.com/en/javascript/state-of-html-conte...

Yes, the only bottleneck here is rasterization which we are trying to solve by making native Rasterization API live. You can read about here http://pixelscommander.com/en/javascript/state-of-html-conte...

There is an intent to make rasterization native http://pixelscommander.com/en/javascript/state-of-html-conte...

I think could be nice. There is an intention to create React-GL, but nothing serious yet. All you basically need is to call something like new GLElement(this.getDOMNode()). Or how is it in 0.13?...

It is not a new rendering engine. It is just one custom tag which makes WebGL texture of your HTML content and allows to apply shaders. That is it...

What is the browser support for CSS shaders? =)

Is seems that rasterization happend before images loaded. Do not observe this on any devices accessible for me. Is there any specificity on system you tried it?

It is done but there is no control over rasterization and no possibility to add filters as in the demo http://pixelscommander.com/polygon/htmlgl/demo/filters.html

Yes, there is an issue on that. https://github.com/PixelsCommander/HTML-GL/issues/11 I d like to fix it before going public but HTML5WEEKLY made announcement without notice, so everybody sees know that bug =( As for selection - it is selectable in it`s bounding box, but selection is not highlighted yet.

It depends on how far it will go. At the moment there is a plan how to do that, but not enough time to implement... You may use it for editor, but keep in mind that text itself would be sent to GPU every time it updates. Anyhow you may ping me in skype lp_funky if interested in doing this, would be glad to help.

Thank you. Agree, simplicity is what it is created for, will keep it that way.

Performance is much better if translation / scaling / opacity / rotation are used or shaders ofcourse. If image content redraws by CPU it sucks. Basically it is what GPU can do quickly. Selection is possible since elements are there but just invisible and when webgl textures were animated we can lazily update DOM positions without affecting performance a lot. Is there a repo for your terminal?

Cool, thx
