What type of web design is this called? It's one of the best I've ever seen!
There are some attempts at introducing a tag to the HTML spec to natively render 3d models but the responses from the developer community are mixed. People want flexibility which is why exposing lower level APIs that people then can write wrappers for is often the better solution.

Ask HN: Is VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) Relevant to Metaverse?
Historically perhaps! I'm not sure how so.
These days, the only entity I'm aware of trying to help the web forward with 3D that I have seen is a company I criticize frequently for holding the web back, Apple. They have been working to add a element[1].
Also happy to see Apple add BroadcastChannel and File System Access in Safari tech preview 131.
I'm still uncomfortable/alarmed having a general purpose device that's incapable of running all but a single possible web browser engine, and it's frustrating that incredibly empowering rich capabilities like Web MIDI are simply discarded (on valid security grounds, but still a vital capability I think we need to figure out how to allow). But Model or something like it is good solid declearative web innvoation (clawing back what's been javascripts). Templates were good, solid, declarative web innovation (clawing back what's been javascript's). And a lot of nuts and bolts to eventually finally seem to make it into Safari. I think I might be able to go to DEFCON 3 some day on my Safari feels.

can I use a 3D model as an item inside a CSS container to create a grid of 3D items?
I believe this is more or less the same with the element that WebKit (Apple/Safari) is proposing. https://github.com/WebKit/explainers/tree/main/model

If you don't have an iphone, you can view he model by downloading them in the "options" drop-down menu to obtain the usdz file, which you can then use either with Pixar open-source suite https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD or other software that support the format.
Or you can use an online file converter like https://products.aspose.app/3d/en/conversion/usd-to-obj and see the result in Meshlab.
Direct in-browser visualization is possible but https://products.aspose.app/3d/fr/viewer worked but the scale was wrong and prevented to zoom enough.
You can also view some high quality scan in the Apple's demo https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/quick-look/
