Introducing <axis-viewport>
The <axis-viewport> HTML element allows for using Axis and displaying 3D content on a web page purely by using HTML, without explicit need for scripting. It can be used just as any HTML element in the web page.
As of Feb 16 2018, <axis-viewport> is supported by Chrome, Opera and Safari 10.1 and above. It is expected to be supported in Firefox version 60/61 and soon in Edge.
Firefox can be manually tuned to display the Axis element. To do that, start Firefox, go to page address about:config, find dom.webcomponents.customelements.enabled and set it to true
For details, check out the HTMLAxisViewportElement page
