`viser` is a library for interactive 3D visualization + Python, inspired by
tools like [Pangolin](https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin),
[rviz](https://wiki.ros.org/rviz/), and
[meshcat](https://github.com/rdeits/meshcat).

As a standalone visualization tool, `viser` features include:

- Web interface for easy use on remote machines.
- Python API for sending 3D primitives to the browser.
- Python-configurable inputs: buttons, checkboxes, text inputs, sliders,
  dropdowns, gizmos.
- Support for multiple panels and view-synchronized connections.

The `viser.infra` backend can also be used to build custom web applications
(example:
[the Nerfstudio viewer](https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio)). 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.

## Running examples

```bash
# Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/viser.git

# Install the package.
# You can also install via pip: `pip install viser`.
cd ./viser
pip install -e .

# Run an example.
pip install -e .[examples]
python ./examples/4_gui.py
```

After an example script is running, you can connect by navigating to the printed
URL (default: `http://localhost:8080`).

## Setup (client development)

This is only needed for client-side development. The automatically hosted viewer
should be sufficient otherwise.

```bash
cd ./viser/viser/client
yarn
yarn start
```
