Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Specify lacks a built-in 3D model viewer, which limits users' ability to visualize 3D assets directly within the platform.
This can be frustrating for users who want to interact with 3D models alongside their collection data, especially in fields where visual representation is crucial for analysis and presentation.
Describe the solution you'd like
We propose adding a 3D model viewer to Specify 7 that would allow users to view and interact with 3D models directly within the application.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Embedding MorphoSource's viewer is a strong option.
We want to avoid implementing a solution that only benefits a single collection.
The Google Model Viewer stands out as a versatile option for showcasing standard photogrammetry, which could be implemented as a baseline feature to ensure all users have access to 3D model visualization.
