Overview
An educational viewer, not a simulator. A generic chassis is built from simple 3D shapes and grouped into frame, front, centre and rear assemblies that map to the parts catalogue's categories.
Key features
- Rotate, zoom, pan, hover and click
- Highlights a category and explains it in a side panel
- The camera glides to the selected component
- Navigation driven by the catalogue's own category tree
Challenges and decisions
Keeping it fast without heavy 3D model files.
Every part is built from boxes and cylinders in code, so the scene loads instantly and is easy to change.
