Javascript animation and 360 degree image

I have been trying to figure out how to make something similar to this solution here: Sample

I have been doing some research, and have stumbled upon some pretty lightweight jQuery plugins that can make the 360 degree image rotation. What i can't figure out:

Now, i dont expect a "solution" for this, just some suggestions and ideas, so i can approach this the smartest way possible.

I'd guess that was a mixture of HTML5 and JS, probably using a plugin like GSAP http://greensock.com/draggable (there's a nice draggable spinner example on this page) but there's also http://julian.com/research/velocity/

As others have said in the comments this could have been initially built with a 3D modeller, maybe Blender http://www.blender.org/features/ in which case this is a mixture of HTML5 canvas elements for the buttons and WebGL

update

If you want a 3D model animation the best plugin to use with WebGL is http://threejs.org/ which I'd forgotten about

These tutorials may help too
