Orbit
A direct, spatial way to inspect 3D models.
Orbit is a browser-based STL viewer built with Three.js. It supports standard model controls and optional MediaPipe hand tracking that runs in the browser.
06A Browser-based model inspection with no server-side camera processing.
01 Why it exists
Move around the model without moving through menus.
Orbit provides a focused workspace for model inspection. A user can rotate, move, scale, separate, isolate, and capture a model with direct controls.
When gesture control is enabled, MediaPipe processes webcam frames in the browser. Orbit does not send camera frames to an application server.

Rotate, move, and scale the model with pointer or touch input.
Gesture input

Local capture
Save the current model view as an image from the browser.
