Rotating items without flash

Hello.

I want to provide you with a jQuery plugin for you, which allows you to implement a three-dimensional display of items (for example, phones or laptops in the online store catalog)

Perhaps everyone met such tools based on flash technology. However, I believe that its use is not what it is. Therefore, having spent several hours, I implemented a similar javascript functionality as a jQuery plugin.

Opportunities

• Rotation of an object with a mouse, keyboard buttons, buttons on a website page
• Automatic rotation
• Rotation speed control
• Ability to assign a plugin to multiple objects on the page
• The plugin can return an object with which you can hang additional controls and event handlers.
• Tested under Windows XP in FF 3.5, Opera 10, IE 6+, Google Chrome, Safari 4

How does it work

Of course, we need photos of the item we want to show.
They all fit in some div.

< div class ="beonoGlobus" >
< div class ="beonoGlobus-images" >
< img src ="3d-1.jpg" />
...
< img src ="3d-6.jpg" />
</ div >
< div class ="beonoGlobus-navigation" > ... </ div >
</ div >
</ div >

We hang the plugin.

$( ".beonoGlobus" ).beonoGlobus();

All this can be packaged in any component of your cms and automatically connected for each product of the catalog.

Important : The current α-version (0.5) is suitable for use, but still “damp” for using the api of plug-in objects. I think by the end of the month I will give the code in order. Also in the plans to implement the rotation vertically.

UPDATE start
All similar tools on flash are made on the principle of photo switching.
I didn’t have a task to do some other 3D representation through canvas and the like.
You need to show the user the subject from all sides? You are welcome!
Honestly, I do not know how to do this in another way.
Build image via canvas? - Hang the user's browser.

Flash examples:

pleer.ru/3dfoto/indexf.php?p=17730
3df.ru/3d/canon-eos-350-d-kit

This is a flash and it just switches the pictures.
My task was to implement the same thing without a flash!

Thanks to all! :)

UPDATE end

In the comments I want to know how interesting this tool is (especially as an alternative to flash versions), suggestions and criticism.
