AR files (Augmented Reality)

Augmented Reality files are fantastic to show your 3D content in a real world environment.


1. In the Showell App, open the 3D file you would like to view, the same as you would open any other file

2. You have the freedom to view your 3D content in a way that feels immersive and lifelike. Place a lamp on your desk, a tractor in your neighbor's field, or even your dream car in your own garage. AR brings your 3D models to life and allows you to interact with them in the context of your everyday surroundings.

Can 3D files be viewed from the Digital Sales Room?
