Passphrase

Writes a single locked HTML file with this project baked in. No rail, no controls the client can break, nothing to install. Everything stays inside the file.

Scale

Dimension lines on the object

Dimension lines sit in the plane of the cover and read best in the Cover view. Actual size holds the cover flat to the camera and matches it to your display, so a client can judge how large the book really is. Calibrate once per screen.
