threex.htmlmixer

threex.htmlmixer is a three.js game extension to seemlessly integrate actual dom elements in your game. It uses a clever blending trick to mix CSS3 and Webgl. See details in "Mixing HTML Pages Inside Your WebGL" post on learningthree.js blog. It provides a great new way for the player to interact with the 3d . For example you can include youtube players inside a movie screen. Additionally you can easily access the content of the whole web and include it in your three.js game.
