At the bottom of that page is a link to a very nice example: http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/wiki/images/c/cc/Laurana.pdf "Embedding interactive 3D object in a PDF using MeshLab and U3D, Visual Computing Group. ISTI CNR. Example of an embedded U3D in a pdf." Nice to play with! (With the mouse cursor over her, hold down the button, and move around). According to the caption at the bottom: "This pdf was produced with open source tools. The object was converted in the pdf-ready U3D format with MeshLab ( http://meshlab.sourceforge.net ) and assembled in a pdf with pdfLATEX and the movie15 package." I think there may be some scope here!
