Developer Builds 3D Exploded-View Tool for Gadgets Using Three.js and AI

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created Exploded, a web app that lets users take apart 3D models of devices like hard drives and smartphones to learn their components. The tool uses Three.js for rendering and integrates Gemini for Q&A and ElevenLabs for voice narration. It was built as a submission for a weekend challenge and is open-source on GitHub.

Meridian48 take
A clever educational demo, but its real-world utility hinges on expanding the object library beyond the initial three models.
