Berkelium 3d web browser

Based on Google's open source and cross-platform Chromium browser, Berkelium provides a BSD-licensed standalone library to embed a browser in a 3d space. Because it is built on Chromium's multi-process rendering engine, Berkelium can benefit from Chromium's sandbox.

Here, the Berkelium browser is inside Sirikata's demo scene browsing Yahoo and Youtube videos.

ok it's look cool, but What is the point? I mean, that should use more CPU, GPU, MEM than Chromium (for example). I don't think, I, or you, will be more efficient than with Chromium (for example), so why I'll should use it, and why did/do you work on, what's your aim(s) ? make coolest browser ? impress girls ?

@MrAlsaco Chromium renders pages to a window--for most cases, this is what you want. Berkelium was developed to be a web-browser and a user interface for games and other 3d applications--as well as providing a shared library interface to a web browser. There are other use cases for rendering pages to memory (i.e. screenshots), but as you suggest, this library is not for everyone.

@MrAlsaco I'll give you, however, that my initial response wasn't very mature either, so let's try again shall we?

[gnola14]

@MrAlsaco OK, if you don't want to be taken as a noob, perhaps you should stop expressing yourself like one ("make coolest browser ? impress girls ?", "speak like a coder and no like someone who wantx to make the next generation MMO"). libRocekt is a great lib, but it doesn't implements full CSS or HTML, and moreover, I can't use jQuery but I have to script things in Python. So you roll your own library for GUI? Great! I'd rather spend my time coding the game instead...so I stand my ground.

[MrAlsaco]

@gnola14 sorry but I yes I did! your argument about CSS/HTML is a stupid one, some other libs do, eg. librocket! and I already wrote my own library to render in a texture a gui in the aim to do have a "GUI" as texture on a 3D model... so plz don't take me for a noob... if you want to speak with me, speak like a coder and no like someone who wantx to make the next generation MMO like so many...

[gnola14]

@MrAlsaco Have you ever tried to make the GUI of a game? No? Well, unless it's extremely basic, coding it will be messy, buggy and will take away time you should spend developing the actual game. With things like Berkelium you can program your game's GUI with plain HTML & CSS, and let the library deal with positioning, resizing, etc.

[MrAlsaco]

@patrhorn so if i understand correctly Berkelium is a library for implement a web browser in 3D applications.
