Enabling Augmented Reality 3D Model Viewing on Websites Without App Installations
Recently, I shared a blog post demonstrating how to seamlessly display 3D models in augmented reality (AR) directly within mobile browsers, without requiring users to install dedicated applications. This approach leverages web-based AR technologies, allowing visitors to experience 3D content effortlessly on both Android and iOS devices.
In that post, I explained how to embed and launch AR experiences using common 3D file formats such as GLB, glTF, USDZ, and Reality files, all through simple URL parameters. This method enhances user engagement by reducing barriers to access, providing instant AR visualization:
- Users can open 3D models directly in their browsers.
- No plugin or app installation needed.
- Compatible across major mobile platforms.
I am eager to hear your feedback on this approach. Are there additional URL parameters or techniques you think could improve the user experience? Have you explored other ways to optimize web-based AR integration?
Feel free to share your insights or ask questionsโcollaborating together can help advance accessible and streamlined AR solutions on the web.
