WebGL Canvas to WebRTC outgoing stream?

[Thor Harald Johansen]

I wrote a long post about this and it apparently disappeared, so this post will be shorter: Can we get a way to render to a canvas and encode this as a stream? It would enable vision mixing in the browser. There are good reasons as to why this is a needed feature.

Might be a good discussion to start on WHATWG or public-html at W3C.

You can render WebGL to a canvas, generate a stream from the frames, and send it over WebRTC. I have some similar experiments on my to-do list, the bricks are already available or they are in the way :-)

Can you explain how to send a stream from a canvas?
