Runs Apple's 2.4GB SHARP model entirely in-browser using ONNX Runtime Web.

Strengths
  • •Client-side inference removes server costs and latency for 3D reconstruction.
  • •Handles large ONNX data sidecars correctly for browser WASM loading.
  • •Direct .ply export allows immediate use in standard 3D pipelines.
Weaknesses
  • •Requires separate Python environment to export the ONNX model first.
  • •2.4GB model size creates high barrier for entry on slower connections.
