Deinocheirus 3D Viewer vs AR Apps
Deinocheirus 3D Viewer runs giant Mongolian ornithomimosaur WebGL in the browser with no account and no room-scale AR - use a phone AR app for room placement, and a museum for real bone.
Deinocheirus options side by side
These rows compare what the Deinocheirus viewer ships against typical phone AR apps, a museum visit, and a still photo:
| Aspect | In-browser 3D viewer | Phone AR app | Museum / static image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Install / download | 0 MB app install; three.js vendored and cached after first load | Often 50 to 500 MB store download | Travel time; or 0 MB for a photo |
| Time to first view | Seconds - one page load; engine lazy-loads after paint; optional glTF may swap in after | Minutes - install, permissions, tracking setup | Hours for a visit; instant for a photo |
| Place in a physical room | No - orbit on a flat screen only | Yes - true AR placement when tracking works | Hall scale in person; none in a photo |
| Desktop without a phone | Yes - current browser with WebGL | Usually no | Photo yes; museum no |
| Published size figures on hand | Yes - about 11 m panel baseline (Lee et al. 2014; Paul 2016 about 11.5 m; Molina-Perez and Larramendi 2016 about 12 m); about 3.5 m hip (panel baseline); about 5-7 t (panel baseline 6.4 t / 6,358 kg; Paul 2016 about 5 t; Molina-Perez and Larramendi 2016 about 7 t; Campione and Evans 2020 about 6.5 t); about 72-66 Mya Late Cretaceous; Nemegt Formation, Mongolia; Nemegt Formation Mongolia context disclosed | Varies by app | Labels vary; photo rarely carries full sheet |
| Reconstruction honesty | Soft-tissue color artistic; not a fossil-accurate skeleton; optional CC-BY-SA 4.0 glTF (seth the yutyrannus via Printables 774263) is stylized, not a laser scan; silent procedural fallback; does not conflate Deinocheirus with smaller ornithomimids such as Gallimimus | Often sells one settled silhouette | Bones are real; color still interpretive |
When the Deinocheirus browser viewer fits
Pick the browser viewer when you want drag-orbit on a giant Mongolian ornithomimosaur with Size vs human at the honest 11 m panel length ratio, and click facts - without installing anything.
When a phone AR app or museum fits better
A phone AR app wins when you need the silhouette on your floor; this viewer never claims room placement. A museum wins for real mounts. A static image wins only when you need a single shareable frame.
What this Deinocheirus comparison is not
This comparison is a trade-off table for the shipped viewer - not an AR brand ranking, no invented AR features, no single mass outside published ranges (panel 6.4 t disclosed), it does not conflate Deinocheirus with smaller ornithomimids such as Gallimimus, and no game score.
