The voraus 3D visualization is a service that is distributed as a docker image and can be started as a standalone container. This service acts as a link between a Python script and a web interface in which 3D models are displayed and manipulated via a live data stream. The 3D models can be created with any modeling tool that supports the export of glTF/GLB/OBJ files. Attributes such as object position, rotation or scaling are controlled in Python and can be read from all available data sources, such as OPC UA, HTTP, MQTT and many more.
