Documentation
viser is a library for interactive 3D visualization + Python, inspired by
tools like Pangolin,
rviz,
meshcat, and
Gradio. It's designed to support
applications in 3D vision and robotics.
As a standalone visualization tool, viser features include:
- Python API for visualizing 3D primitives in a web browser.
- Python-configurable GUI elements: buttons, checkboxes, text inputs, sliders, dropdowns, and more.
- A meshcat and tf-inspired coordinate frame tree.
The viser.infra backend can also be used to build custom web applications. It
supports:
- Websocket / HTTP server management, on a shared port.
- Asynchronous server/client communication infrastructure.
- Client state persistence logic.
- Typed serialization; synchronization between Python dataclass and TypeScript interfaces.
