This is a demo app running gPhoto2 on the Web:
Powered by a custom fork of libgphoto2, the WebUSB backend of libusb, and WebAssembly via Emscripten.
For the detailed technical write-up, see the official blog post. To see the demo in action, visit the hosted version here (but make sure to read the cross-platform compatibility notes first).
If you don't have a DSLR, you can check out a recording of the demo below:
