I turned a 3D model of an industrial riveting machine into an interactive browser demo that can explain its components

Wait 5 sec.

We normally use industrial 3D models to create renders and videos. I wanted to test whether the same asset could become something more useful: an interactive technical presentation that runs directly in the browser. The prototype is based on a rotary-table riveting machine. You can: run, pause and scrub through its 62-second cycle; rotate the machine and inspect its stations; select individual components; ask the assistant what a component is or what it does; tell it to highlight a specific part. It is not a digital twin—the model is not connected to the physical machine. The idea is to explore a different way of presenting complex industrial equipment during sales, exhibitions or technical discussions. I’d appreciate honest feedback from machine builders and automation engineers: Would something like this be genuinely useful, or does it add unnecessary complexity compared with a normal video?
