According to the narration (sounds like Brendan Eich?) it uses emscripten; googling "emscripten h264 decoder" gives as the top result this github project (with commits in the last hour or so):

https://github.com/mbebenita/Broadway

Sounds like the <whatever>monkey type inference engine is giving some pretty good results.


30 fps with what hardware? I have no sound so I don't know if they mentioned it in the video. Insanely interesting none the less.
