What was once a time consuming process has now been streamlined and is much easier to share. Once you have your products scanned the 3D model can be uploaded into a content management system (CMS) such as VNTANA. VNTANA not only provides a CMS built specifically for 3D, we also optimize those files to increase load speed by 10x. Our patented algorithms reduce file size by up to 95% without losing detail, allowing you and your team a quick, easy way to share and view files while working on projects together. The files are automatically converted into multiple formats allowing you to share your content across all platforms including mobile devices. This also means you have every file type you need for social media and advertising.

The Benefits of 3D and AR Web

Due to the pandemic, many stores have had to close their brick and mortar shops, customers have not been able to shop as they normally would and actually reach out and touch the material of a certain sweater, or see how that purse looks on them. With 3D and AR web, customers may still not be able to touch the clothes but they can get a sense of the texture and actual size of the product by viewing it virtually in their space. Shopify reports seeing sales double when businesses have 3D models in their online shops and returns reduced by 40%.
