Jquery

The following Jquery runs rotations and makes 3D rotation actionable on click of next and previous button.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script>
$(function() { 
 var carousel = $(".carousel"),
    currdeg  = 0;
$(".next").on("click", { d: "n" }, rotate);
$(".prev").on("click", { d: "p" }, rotate);
 
function rotate(e){
  if(e.data.d=="n"){
    currdeg = currdeg - 60;
  }
  if(e.data.d=="p"){
    currdeg = currdeg + 60;
  }
  carousel.css({
    "-webkit-transform": "rotateY("+currdeg+"deg)",
    "-moz-transform": "rotateY("+currdeg+"deg)",
    "-o-transform": "rotateY("+currdeg+"deg)",
    "transform": "rotateY("+currdeg+"deg)"
  });
