Interactive web content in a 3D scene
Hi - I'm looking for ways to display interactive web content in a 3D scene, for both mobile devices (iOS and Android at least) and desktop browsers. Something similar to: http://learningthreejs.com/blog/2013/04/30/closing-the-gap-between-html-and-webgl/ or the WebTexture in uWebKit: http://youtu.be/3k9gFUku7U0?t=1m58s
But uWebKit doesn't seem to support mobile devices in their upcoming release ?
Then there is something like UniWebView: http://uniwebview.onevcat.com/index.html but that seems to be an overlay for your scene, rather than a web-texture ?
Is there a good way to create objects with interactive web content in Unity, targeting mobile platforms and desktops? Or is Unity maybe not the right tool for this task? Would I be better off looking at other options, like Goo Create?

Prime31's has plugins for iOS and Android. The are both called 'Ectetera'. I've used the iOS one, but not the Android one.
Thanks for the tip! I see Etcetera has support for the web view, but can it be applied like a texture onto an object, for example placed on a quad and translated to any angle within the scene?
No it cannot. It is 2D, and I don't believe it is seen by a Unity camera (so you cannot use a RenderTexture to map it).
