This would require a deeper investigation because the demo provided with the viewer does not works as expected when activateCameraSwitchKey is set to false .
About setting transformations for an animation, I wanted to share a test we made some time ago with Véronique who designed a home containing 22 mannequins showing different postures of a walking man. Only the first mannequin is actually displayed and a simple script changes each 50 ms the transformations and size of the mannequin from the hidden mannequins postures, moving the location of the mannequin to make it appear as if it's moving.
As shown in the following animated GIF, it works pretty well even if it's not perfect (the location of the mannequin would probably need some refinements).
If you want to try with your own models, download the attached file and change the script of the HTML file marked at the comment
// Animate mannequinsGood luck!
