I'm not able to rotate or manipulate the view except to zoom in and out on Chrome on a Mac, but I can rotate and do all kinds of fun stuff with this page with Safari on my iPhone. Am I just missing the keyboard commands to get this to work properly on a desktop?



Does shift+drag not work for rotating in your browser?


I have a normal mice on my Mac and scroll wheel = zoom, right-click drag = rotate, left-click drag = pan


they use mouse2 (right click) for rotation


Ahh, thanks! Somehow didn't think to try that instead of just clicking and dragging.


It's such an interesting UI thing... every time a 3D model shows up here, someone makes a similar comment. (Another common one is model-relative vs viewer-relative rotation... like if you go to https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/kiyosumi-shirakawa-station-t... and you move the mouse left, should the view pan left or pan right? It's an option you can set in the gear icon).

That's not on you at all, I just wonder if there's active UX research in this specific area (3D viewing on the web, as opposed to in games or VR).
