## What it is
A simple web-based 3D layer visualizer for visualizing material UIs and other designs involving depth and shadows. It also includes a layout XML tree visualizer useful for teaching layouts.

## Use cases
- visualize material design UI layers in 3D
- visualize depth and shadow elevation in UIs
- teach Android layout hierarchies with an XML tree visualizer
- explore stacked UI layers interactively in the browser

## When to choose
- you need a quick browser-based tool to visualize layered material UIs
- you want to demonstrate depth, elevation, and shadow concepts visually
- you need a simple layout XML tree visualization for teaching

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained or supported tool
- you need production-grade 3D visualization features
- you need integration with modern build tooling or frameworks
