Overview overview

This notebook shows the easiest way to embed the Rerun Viewer widget inside a Jupyter notebook. Instead of logging new data, it loads a pre-recorded .rrd file and renders the scene inline, making it perfect for demos, documentation, or quick inspections of existing captures.

You need the separate support package rerun-notebook to use this feature. Typically this is installed using:

pip install "rerun-sdk[notebook]"

Check out the minimal notebook example for a quick start.

Background background

In this notebook we are loading a pre-recorded .rrd file into the Rerun Viewer widget. The viewer streams the capture and allows you to interact with the 3D scene directly in your browser. You can orbit, zoom, and inspect the scene without needing to run any additional applications.

Running in Jupyter running-in-jupyter

First, install the requirements (this includes Jupyter, the Rerun SDK, and the notebook support package):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, open the notebook:

jupyter notebook notebook_viewer.ipynb

When the notebook launches, the embedded viewer will stream the remote mesh capture so you can orbit, zoom, and inspect the scene directly inside the notebook.
