How are augmented reality models different from regular 3D models?
The primary distinctions between augmented reality models and conventional 3D models lie in optimization and functionality. Traditional models are typically high-poly and contain textures that are more appropriate for a static render. In contrast, AR models must be optimized for real-time motion and interactivity using the specifications and limitations of the mobile or AR device used. Examples of some of the file formats used in AR model development are glTF and USDZ, which work with ARKit, ARCore or WebAR platforms. AR models should also match a real-world scale, respond to light in the environment and be designed for interactivity, such as rotation, placement, and zooming. In summary, AR models need to consider both visual realism while viewing and performing accurately. To learn more about professionally designed AR-ready models.
