Indeed, very cool!

I've toyed with the idea of making a webgl version of rviz so that you can just open up a web browser and control your robot without needing to install ROS or even linux on your computer. I just tested this app on the latest version of chrome for android on a nexus 10 and Razr and it worked pretty well even! I can't move the 'camera' by touching and dragging but I can manipulate the joint angles and such.

I think this just hit my todo list. :)

Hi,
I've created simple URDF viewer. My aim is to be able to view and
debug robot models directly in a (modern) browser.

Viewer is available at:
http://mymodelrobot.appspot.com/
I've put Pi Robot by Patrick Goebel as a demo robot.

At the moment the app is capable of parsing urdf robot into 3D model
visible in browser with movable joints. It does not read or show STL
files yet.

Currently I am working on animating robot by trajectory from text file.

I hope this project will be useful for someone. If you want to
contribute, fork the project from:
