Description

We received some feedback that the default ARIA on `` (`role="image"`) makes it hard for some screen readers to use the built-in keyboard controls. It's possible that an alternate role, such as [`role="application"`](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#application) will lead to better results.

We could go so far as to add an [`aria-roledescription`](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-roledescription) to clarify that this is a 3D model viewer.
