Interactive 3D models like 3D configurators have played an important role in the development of Augmented Reality (AR) and today make the Layar platform even more powerful. Many new features have been added to enable the creation of engaging and interactive 3D content with Layar. Customer can [...]
A special development in the automotive industry (3D configurators are very popular in this industry) in recent times has been 3D printing. If you seriously believe that the automotive industry is lagging behind in this development, you should read this article carefully. Car manufacturers understand the benefits of using this technology and are even [...]
App developers (for example to create 3D configurators) now have an easy way to populate their virtual worlds. Creating a virtual reality (VR) app is not an easy task, especially when it comes to filling these immersive worlds. Even in a semi-realistic world, tons of objects are required, [...]
3D content like 3D configurators has a new home on Facebook today. Users can now publish a new type of content on facebook alongside text, photos and videos. 3D objects or scenes saved in industry-standard glTF 2.0 format can be dragged directly into a browser windows to [...]
Today`s fast-paced digital world has created new consumer expectations for a fast, easy and personalized shopping experience. Many customers are disappointed after unpacking their order and had different expectations of the product before buying. Does that sound familiar to them? The good news is that there is an effective solution: 3D configurators. Product configurators [...]
According to a Deloitte report, 26% of today`s customers want personalized products and 71% are willing to pay more for them. To keep pace with the demand for personalized products (well-suited to be presented by a 3D configurator), many companies are already using 2D or 3D product configurators to provide their customers with a [...]
There are over 19.000 Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) currently available on ProgrammableWeb that can be used by anyone creating or extending new applications like 3D configurators, integration adapters, or extending existing platforms. Enterprise spending on private APIs is already running into millions today. APIs that enable cloud-based integration are growing rapidly with 1.316 APIs, [...]
OpenGL has been around for a long time and when you read the collected documentations on the internet, it`s not always clear which parts are outdated and which parts are still useful and supported on modern graphics hardware. With this in mind, we have decided to write a new beginner`s guide for OpenGL (important [...]
Every developer knows the challenges that arise when it comes to achieving compatibility of data formats with different devices. For this reason, we would like to present an API in this article that allows 3D content like 3D configurators to be easily integrated into one`s own website or used with different Augmented Reality (AR) or [...]
WebGL is a web browser graphics library based on a version of OpenGL for embedded devices, OpenGL ES. The library enables individual real-time 3D graphics rendering in modern browsers, including the use of shaders (plays an important role in the creating process of 3D configurators). There are a variety of scenarios in which you [...]
