If I wanted to build an app like Stellarium, displaying a 3D model, but not requiring fast animation, not a game, more visualization, what libraries should I be considering for the display/UI portion of this program?
Wgpu? https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu
There's also Kajiya, though it's very new and works on a limited range of GPUs.
