In plain words

This is a 3D rendering tool built using 2D HTML Canvas technology. It enables users to create three-dimensional graphics within a web browser despite the canvas's two-dimensional limitations. The tool appears designed for developers and graphics enthusiasts interested in understanding the mathematical foundations of 3D graphics, particularly exploring concepts like perspective transforms, homography matrices, and essential matrices. It launched in 2017 and explores the technical differences between various matrix transformations used in computer vision and graphics programming.
