@blueDay
Yes, I started developing this feature not long ago. It turned into a rabbit hole of issues and discoveries, lol. I discovered that IMVU was developing this feature themselves years ago along with a chat overhaul but abandoned it pretty quickly. I also learned what browser engine the classic client uses and let me tell you, it is really old and doesn't support most modern web standards which makes it a pain in the ass to write code for. I spent some time figuring out what exactly works, what doesn't and translations between new standards and old ones.

@Auspicious K
Mainly HTML 5 and javascript. With the canvas element you can make interactive content.

@Sheyshey
Eventually, after I finish some other features I'm working on. IMVULite still works fine as is right now.
