On mobile there's no navigation back to the product page? What if I want to buy it?

Be interesting to hear if this is actually useful for people or just tech for the point of tech. The zoom to see the controls I can see the benefit of, the underside of the washing machine less so!

For now, the link to the 3d demo only renders on our dotCom proper webiste. However, the links I sent out do render on mobile web. This is a new capability that we are hoping to expand and work out some of these types of issues. However, this is only a test and [hopefully] only the beginning.

As to whether or not it's useful, early indicators were positive, but only time will tell.

Just to add, nice implementation, worked smoothly on an iPhone 6.

Thanks! We're very proud of what we've built, though we're still working on it.
