    Does anyone know if there is support for displaying a WebView in a 3D context on UWP? I've been trying to get this functionality out, but I've been running into major issues. Currently there are no APIs that expose this functionality (Awesomium doesn't support UWP, uWebKit discontinued, NoesisGUI doesn't support WebView, etc). The only way that has worked is by using ApplicationViewSwitcher and using switchasync, however, this just switches the context of the application from 3D to 2D and forces users to toggle their views. Any help would be appreciated!

    Other people here used https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.webview.aspx successfully, which is simply shown above Unity content as a XAML element, just make it as a child of swapchainpanel in MainPage.xaml.

    Do you know of any examples that showcase this effort?

    No, I don't, but it's so simple, that I don't think you need one.

    Just open MainPage.xaml, drag WebView component (from Tools pane) on the page, then slightly modify MainPage.xaml code, because WebView component by default will be assigned as a child of splash screen, thus will be removed when splash screen disappear. Make it a child of swapchain panel.

    Done
