Summary

This ETH Zurich experiment demonstrated loading and animating COLLADA (.dae) files in the browser using Three.js. COLLADA is an XML-based 3D asset interchange format developed by Sony, widely supported by 3D modeling tools like Blender, Maya, and 3ds Max — making it a bridge between professional 3D content creation and web rendering.

Summary

Paul Lewis (Aerotwist) published this tutorial as one of the most widely shared introductions to Three.js — the JavaScript library that abstracts WebGL into a usable API for 3D graphics in the browser. The saved content shows the foundational boilerplate: setting up scene dimensions, camera attributes, creating a WebGLRenderer, PerspectiveCamera, and Scene, positioning the camera back from origin, and attaching the renderer’s DOM element to the page.

Summary

Airtight Interactive built WebCamMesh to demonstrate combining the browser’s getUserMedia webcam API with WebGL rendering via Three.js. The content field notes this was shared with a @stamen tag — Stamen Design, the data visualization studio, suggesting the visualization context.
