Wouldn't it be possible to use WebGL to display the point cloud?

We use Three.js to render the point cloud in the browser. We're running into some performance issues (point clouds often have 1MM+ points, which doesn't render very well yet), but we're implementing some heavy compression (voxelgrid filters, etc) and optimizations.

WebGL may be a better option, and I'll look into it.
