Have you guys explored the idea of building the full Nx Client in WebAssembly or WebGL (or most of it)?

https://webassembly.org/ 
https://www.khronos.org/webgl/ 


After seeing the web based starmap for Star Citizen, it got me to wondering if the main sections of Nx Witness Client could be made to work inside a browser using similar tech.

Look at this. In the browser.

It would be nice to have something nearly full featured that works for those schools out there standardizing on Chromebooks.

  Jeff,
  
  Thanks a lot for the suggestion. We'll check WebAssembly.  I believe the web team already had some thought about WebGL.

  Anyway I'll make sure they see your suggestions.
