Body: <p>I am looking for options to display a 3D rendered model with some interactivity.
  Adobe does (used to ?) support for 3D content, however as I know it doesn't work on handhold devices or mobiles, only on desktop. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any format (pdb, epub, mobi etc) that is supporting 3D content on handheld devices and if there is any reasonable way to generate the 3D content (visuals on molecules, i.e. bunch of balls and tubes and surfaces)? </p>
