I am looking for a software tool that will enable me to interactively display 3D scans on the Web.
My 3D scans are currently available in STL format and in Wavefront's OBJ format. To set up a Web visualization now, I would need a suitable Web viewer that I can integrate into my own Web application (HTML).
I would also like to annotate the 3D scans, i. e. provide additional text labels and arrows. Here the question arises to what extent it makes sense to compose these annotations from primitive STL or OBJ elements or whether it makes more sense to choose other more suitable 3D formats (which one?).
Who knows suitable Web tools and 3D formats?
Have you tried Sketchfab? It has annotation tools and the viewer can be embedded in existing web pages. If you want to build your own pages, 3DHOP has many features and is easy to implement: https://www.3dhop.net/. I have some examples of 3DHOP pages and other web tools here: https://terrielsimmons.github.io/AAFS2021/.
We create 3D models from images taken from captured images and present them to the end user.
Another possible way might be the following:
Take the OBJ file, "render" it with the three.js library, and obtain a WebGL scene.
A basic tutorial:

An example:
