I am new to Houdini and fascinated with this unique tool. As my first real job with Houdini I create modular elements for a virtual museum. The user should be able to adapt these digital assets with sliders in a web browser (similar to the HDA interaction in UE4), send his wishes to the server and get the game ready element sent back. Any hint how to use a HDA in a web environment would make me very happy.

I did something similar, you can use pyhyon in Houdini to setup a websocket server and use javascript in a browser to send command to it. You'll have to account for multiple simultaneous users and some other gotchas I'll leave for your entertainment
More code, less clicks.
