Using the Javascript API with CityEngine Viewer

Hi

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I have a question regarding the City Engine Viewer in ArcGIS Online and the JavaScript API. I created for my organization an ArcScene document with 3D models depicting different structures, vegetation, and other elements including a DEM surface, which I can export to a .3ws file in 10.2. What I need to do is to create a web map with the 3d scene that can allow a user to view information about each structure with pop-ups, link to images, other documents, etc. Does the JavaScript API currently allow for a dynamic web map with the .3ws file/City Engine Viewer or is there another (better) way of doing this, especially considering I most likely will not be able to publicly share the scene as required in ArcGIS Online.

Unfortunately, I do not have and won't be able to get City Engine. I also know ArcScene exports WRL files but haven't been able to get anywhere with that except viewing it with a viewer.

Thanks

What about embedding the scene into a webmap with a 2D map with features to be used for the pop-ups but also allowing a user to view and interact with the 3D scene.

"embedding the scene into a webmap with a 2D map with features to be used for the pop-ups"
not a problem

"allowing a user to view and interact with the 3D scene"
i am not aware of software to allow you to do this. What software/api would you use to do this?
