Description

Originally reported by: Kacper Kowalik (Bitbucket: xarthisius, GitHub: xarthisius)

I think it's a low hanging fruit. Should be fairly straight forward to get it using three.js since surface already provides vertices and faces. Nice example of how it can be done:

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement repr html for surfaces using three.js by accessing surface vertices and faces from the yt data structure, then rendering them with three.js in an HTML representation.
