Well now. While you’re sitting around waiting for the 3DVia iPhone App or throwing your vote in for an eDrawings app, a relatively small band of developers has slammed 3D model viewing right into your sleek smartphone.
Dan Halabe and Chuck Han have release NaviCAD, currently the only way to get silly with 3D viewing excitement for the plethora of 3D models available at Google’s 3D Warehouse. Here’s what you’ll see.

The app comes with some nice features. There’s tilt rotation, bookmarking and emailing links to others in appreciation of fine 3D modeling. The viewing however, is not all that intuitive and, depending on the model’s environment can be quite difficult to manipulate. Even with those small issues, it would be a fun way to search out 3D models or show off some of your own.
When you fire up the app you have two areas you’re able to search, Google Warehouse and the Collada Test Model Bank
