There's also WebGLU.  System GLU has limited support for visualizing trimmed 
NURBS.  You could also directly convert NURBS to Bezier surface patches, which 
you'll find a lot more support for:

They almost certainly do not support NURBS OBJ files.  Rhino3D is one of the 
few tools I know of that implements support for NURBS OBJ files.  Polygonal OBJ 
files (such as the ones we generate with g-obj) are not useful because you 
don't (yet) have the ability to robustly get polygons to work with until you 
have facetize command support.
