This is a free online 3D presentation tool with an easy to learn edit environment. The 3D viewers in this tool are created with the help of the Three.js library.
A special big shoutout to Mr.Doob for creating this awesome library! And the 3D models are designed by Quaternius.
In this box a Canon EOS camera, a webcam, a router and a small Windows laptop.

The video from the robot’s camera streams to the dashboard, so you can see what the robot sees.
