Background

While researching IIIF-compatible 3D viewers, I came across the following article.

Through this article, I learned about Aleph as one of the introduced viewers.

Usage

I forked the GitHub repository and deployed it to Vercel.

https://aleph-coral.vercel.app/

The initial display is as follows.

By changing the URL to a glb file in the input form on the left side of the screen, the specified 3D model was displayed.

Summary

I hope this is helpful for researching 3D viewers.
