Nice ! How does it work ?

[@antti_tiihonen]

The screen uses Godot's UI system that renders into a subviewport (aka. render to texture). The resulting texture is used on a material on a 3d object. User inputs are passed into the UI as mouse events. The mouse position is figured out by raycasting from camera against a collider on the screen with a bit of math to map the raycast hit position on the surface of the 3D collider into 2D coordinates of the screen
