feat(examples/three.js): cinematic skinned realtime pose demo + folder reorg#584
Merged
Conversation
… CSI bridge
Five-stage example progression exploring three.js helpers (ADR-097 surface) as
a viewer for live RuView sensor data:
1. helpers-demo.html — clean ADR-097 helper reference (GridHelper,
PolarGridHelper, BoxHelper, AxesHelper),
file://-safe, no backend
2. helpers-cinematic.html — same scene + UnrealBloomPass + pseudo-CSI
sonar pings + tomography sweep + procedural
cyber floor + ambient drift particles
3. helpers-skinned.html — replaces sphere skeleton with Mixamo X Bot
via GLTFLoader from threejs.org CDN, plays
bundled animations with additive blending
4. helpers-skinned-fbx.html — same but loads a local Mixamo FBX (needs
serve-demo.py — file:// can't fetch local
siblings). Drop X Bot.fbx alongside.
5. helpers-skinned-realtime.html — webcam → MediaPipe Pose Heavy →
poseWorldLandmarks → direct quaternion
retargeting onto the Mixamo skeleton.
Real ESP32-S3 CSI streamed over WebSocket
from ruvultra (Tailscale, port 8766).
Supporting:
- serve-demo.py threaded HTTP server with no-cache headers
(fixes net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE on the FBX path)
- ruvultra-csi-bridge.py ESP32 RuView firmware tick → WebSocket bridge,
runs as systemd-run unit on ruvultra
Bugs found + fixed along the way (all documented in code comments):
- FBX exports yield TWO parallel Bone trees with identical names; only the
SkinnedMesh.skeleton.bones one drives visible deformation. model.traverse
finds orphans.
- Mixamo FBX nests a zero-length wrapper bone above the real bone, same name.
bone.children[0].getWorldPosition == bone.getWorldPosition → restDir is
(0,0,0) → setFromUnitVectors collapses to identity. Walk past same-named
same-position wrappers when computing tail.
- AnimationMixer.update() with a "stopped" action still mutates bones unless
enabled=false is set.
Retargeting layer in helpers-skinned-realtime.html:
- 12 bones direct quaternion retarget (arms × 2, legs × 2, spine × 3, neck)
- Hips root rotation from shoulder/hip line basis (torso twist + lean)
- Neck aims at ear-midpoint (kp 7+8), not nose (kp 0), to remove the
forward bias of the protruding-nose anchor
- One Euro Filter per landmark per axis (Casiez 2012) — adaptive low-pass
- Visibility-weighted per-bone slerp gain — occluded limbs relax to rest
- URL toggles: ?mirror= ?yflip= ?zflip= ?cnn=0/1/2 ?csi=ws://...
Live CSI integration:
- Bridge parses adaptive_ctrl tick lines (motion/presence/rssi/yield)
- Browser fans single ESP32 reading across 4 UI nodes with phase-shifted
wobble (0.88–1.00 × sin(t·0.55 + offsetᵢ))
- EMA α=0.06 (~3 sec time constant), HUD update throttled 3 Hz

…ssets + add README
Flatten the 13-file flat layout into purposeful subfolders so the demo
collection has a clean top-level entry point (README.md) and the file roles
are obvious from a directory listing.
Layout:
demos/ 01..05 — numbered for the progression (helpers → cinematic →
skinned → skinned-fbx → skinned-realtime)
screenshots/ one PNG per demo, matching the demo's filename prefix
server/ serve-demo.py + ruvultra-csi-bridge.py
assets/ X Bot.fbx (gitignored, used by demos 04 and 05)
Touched files (beyond the renames):
- 04-skinned-fbx.html, 05-skinned-realtime.html: MODEL_URL now resolves
'../assets/X%20Bot.fbx' instead of './X%20Bot.fbx'
- server/serve-demo.py: chdir() walks 3 levels up to repo root (was 2), and
the URL banner now lists all 5 demos
- .gitignore: comment refresh — points at assets/ and screenshots/
- 05-skinned-realtime.html also picks up in-flight fps-tune work from this
branch (Holistic script, SMOOTH_K URL param, slerp gain scaling) since
those edits and the rename hit the same file
Verified end-to-end:
- python examples/three.js/server/serve-demo.py
- all 5 demos return 200, X Bot.fbx returns 200 from new asset/ path
- demos 04 + 05 render the X Bot mesh; 0 JS errors via browser eval
- screenshots reproduced match the originals

Summary
Two commits ship the cinematic three.js demo collection plus an organized folder layout that scales to more demos.
60d2c8eb8— original demo bundle (5 progressive demos + ESP32 CSI bridge)a9f37e513— reorganize the flat 13-file root intodemos/,screenshots/,server/,assets/; add a README.md indexing all five demosDemo 05 (
05-skinned-realtime.html) is the headline: webcam → MediaPipe Pose Heavy → Mixamo X Bot IK retargeting, with live ESP32-S3 CSI overlay fromruvultra:8766(Tailscale). Demo 04 wires the same rig but driven by bundled animations only — useful as a fallback when no webcam is available.Layout after reorg
