Abstract (arXiv)

We present Viser, a 3D visualization library for computer vision and robotics. Viser aims to bring easy and extensible 3D visualization to Python: we provide a comprehensive set of 3D scene and 2D GUI primitives, which can be used independently with minimal setup or composed to build specialized interfaces. This technical report describes Viser's features, interface, and implementation. Key design choices include an imperative-style API and a web-based viewer, which improve compatibility with modern programming patterns and workflows.
