3D content
Reusable geometry, materials and scenes for spatial experiences.
Overview
Spatial content combines geometry, appearance, animation and metadata. Not every AR annotation needs a complex model, but interoperable asset and scene formats matter whenever three-dimensional content moves between tools and devices.
Foundational Role in the framework
Role in the Augmentiverse
Content portability connects authoring to delivery. Shared formats help, while consistent units, coordinate systems, extensions and licensing remain necessary.
How it works
Creators author or capture assets, prepare materials and metadata, optimise geometry and textures, and export to a supported delivery format. A runtime then loads and renders the content in a spatial frame.
Core components
- Geometry and topology
- Materials and textures
- Scene graph and animation
- Metadata and rights
What it enables
- Reusable assets reduce repeated authoring.
- Open formats support inspection and a broader tool ecosystem.
Where it is useful
- Product visualisation
- Heritage reconstruction and design review
Limits and implementation choices
- Format support does not ensure identical appearance.
- Large assets can overwhelm mobile bandwidth, memory and rendering budgets.
