Investigate how technicallly we could support 3D representation

[eliselavy]

Look at proposition made by @lwieneke

• https://blog.jupyter.org/ipygany-jupyter-into-the-third-dimension-29a97597fc33
• https://github.com/maartenbreddels/ipyvolume
• http://www2.compute.dtu.dk/projects/GEL/PyGEL/

look at reference mentionned here also: https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/var/article/view/9715/10699

from @inactinique to investigate the support in JDH https://towardsdatascience.com/guide-to-real-time-visualisation-of-massive-3d-point-clouds-in-python-ea6f00241ee0

• made a notebook with the example
• iframe with webGL version displayed in notebook but not in JDH https://www.flyvast.com/flyvast/app/page-snapshot-viewer.html#/379/f6e0963b-db5d-aa3c-a541-32e3a0ead5ff

for this article https://github.com/jdh-observer/jdh001-33pRxE2dtUHP - author provides 3D PDF

The 3D PDF required Acrobat Reader and document need to be trusted:

=> A web browser solution will be better:

author go to provide STL files about the visualisation of the figure 29 http://10.240.4.179/en/article/33pRxE2dtUHP?idx=144&layer=hermeneutics

The STL (Standard Triangle Language) is the industry standard file type for 3D Printing.

Author mentionned the following browser 3D visualisator:

• https://www.thingiverse.com/
• https://sketchfab.com/

Files supported:

STL a solution to test with: https://github.com/WoLpH/numpy-stl

https://modelviewer.dev works with 3D file format, GLB. (https://docs.fileformat.com/3d/glb/)

https://www.thingiverse.com/ - https://sketchfab.com/ works with CAD file formats STL. (https://docs.fileformat.com/cad/stl/)

Main challenge will be to define the requirements of the file supported
