I was tasked by a researcher from the Standup project to create an interactive 3D scene where the evolution of meshes was displayed.

My solution consisted of wrapping JavaScript’s most complete 3D library, Three.js, into an R package, in order to implement an htmlwidget more efficient than rgl (one of R’s most popular 3D libraries) for displaying 3D geometries.
