LUME is a TypeScript toolkit of HTML custom elements for building interactive 2D and 3D graphics in the browser, powered by WebGL and CSS3D. It provides a scene-graph based component system built on web components, with packages for element behaviors and a WebAssembly WebGL engine.

Use cases

• render 3D scenes in the browser with HTML elements
• build interactive 3D web applications without writing raw WebGL
• mix CSS3D and WebGL content in one scene graph
• create 3D product visualizers or data displays on a website
• prototype browser-based games or first-person experiences
• build reusable 3D UI widgets as web components

When to choose

• you want declarative HTML markup for 3D scenes instead of imperative Three.js code
• you need to combine DOM/CSS content with WebGL 3D in a single scene
• you prefer web components that integrate with any framework or plain HTML
• you want a higher-level scene-graph abstraction over Three.js

When to avoid

• you need maximum performance or fine-grained control - use Three.js or raw WebGL directly
• you need server-side rendering or non-browser environments
• you require a mature, battle-tested engine for production games at scale
• you need extensive 3D model format loaders or advanced engine features out of the box
