The paper is concerned with compact linear groups of cohomogeneity⩽ 3, namely closed subgroups G of the orthogonal group O (n) with dim R n⧸ G⩽ 3. The main issue is to determine the ring of invariants as well as the orbital distance metric of S n− 1⧸ G, for all groups of cohomogeneity 3. The starting point is the known classification of compact connected linear groups of this type, and the basic idea is to fully utilize a technique usually referred to as the reduction principle. Although the calculations of principal isotropy groups and their normalizers can be quite technical, the approach is rather elementary. Some of the material is of an expository nature since we try to present complete results and also strive to be selfcontained wherever possible.
