some time ago I introduced HTML5 gauges,

Now, a time for Dynamic Textures powered by HTML5

 

 

Enjoy, cheers

very cool

Would be sweet to get dirt on tires and spray on the aircraft from muddy bush strips! And insects on the windscreen and leading edges

Very interesting for sure. Could this be used to project rain fx on the windshield perhaps?

Very impressive Marcin.....I think the potential of this is 'huge'. 

 

Awesome work mate.

Hm, "in flight movies" for your virtual pax? :Just Kidding:

Why not sell space for advertisers on the rwy aiming point.

Dynamic advertising in scenery! Perhaps that could reduce some costs, or make it worthwhile to do niche scenery that would otherwise be uneconomic to do?

Wow, that is really a nice. You demo really shows the potential for this. What about performance with this technology?

I for one will totally welcome live ads in scenery - couldn't wait for it as long as the performance hit is minimal and the amount of ads are not excessive. Those live ads would add so much to the immersion! It's so strange to consider the fact that in P3D/FSX world having ads can be a real plus.

Yes, a new way for 3rd party devs to sell their product. They give it to you free and they you pay to have the ads removed. Wow, interesting effective way to demo your products and make money at at the same time.

if this live texture/ad thing goes well we may have to pay developer for the ad-enabled version b/c it is so cool to have real life ads flashing on the billboards..

Thx All,

 

a short word on the performance.

 

1) It runs in the separate process, using DX11, deferred context. i.e. as much as possible with GPU support. As P3D is DX11 enabled, no GPU "compatibility" problem.

2) When using WebGL, the performance is even better. There are lots of libraries to simplify WebGL programming.

3) Of course, once you put too much content, then the performance will drop. It is up to the developer to build the logic and not to enable too many dynamic stuff at a time for example, imagine you have engine that changes the textures with not too much insensitivity (e.g. dynamic billboard adds changing on every minute) then the performance loss is close to zero ! Once the texture is updated it stays in GPU memory and behaves as any static texture loaded from file. For the moment I do not support mipmaps, but it should not be a big deal to add it to the solution.

 

Feel free to apply to your scenario.  I am here to support your "imagination"

I'd say, how about "fly in" theatres

Lots of potential here!
