Morning Ahmed,

Looks like a _ **VERY** _ useful contribution!

### Question 1

I had never heard about [babylon.js](https://www.babylonjs.com/) until now. Are there any special _ **IOT related use cases** _ you had already in mind for your node?

Our friend @dceejay had a proposal some time ago, based on this article:

> **[The Smart Home Gains An Extra Dimension](https://hackaday.com/2019/12/29/the-smart-home-gains-an-extra-dimension/)**
>
> With an ever-growing range of smart-home products available, all with their own hubs, protocols, and APIs, we see a lot of DIY projects (and commercial offerings too) which aim to provide a “…

That article uses [three.js](https://threejs.org/) and has a nice 3D use case to control lights in a house:

I see that babylon.js also supports [lights](https://doc.babylonjs.com/babylon101/lights). So this kind of fancy stuff might be possible with your node?

### Question 2

Had no time yet to play with your node, so perhaps this is already possible? Is there any kind of babylon.js _ **web based drawing editor that could be embedded** _ with your node. So we can go from your node directly to an editor, like we integrated DrawSvg into our node-red-contrib-ui-svg node?

Thanks for your time and effort!!!  
Bart
