How do I put an interactable Canvas onto a 3D game object?

Is it possible to place a UI Canvas onto a 3D object? I'd like to create a cash dispenser machine (for example) with a user interface that can be interacted with. Then there will be keycode locks on doors, touchscreen computers, etc.

How can I display a canvas as a 3D object in the 3D world and still have it interactable? Placing it on a Plane would be good enough.

Yes, it is possible. Change Canvas Render Mode to World Space then drag your Camera into the Event Camera slot. You will have to find select the Canvas, press F in Scene View to find it then move it to the place you want it to be.

You need to use World Space UI. Can place anywhere in scene but make sure use can view it in order to interact.
