View 3D models in AR on Vision Pro and Meta Quest

Upload a 3D model to ARView and you get one link. Open it on an iPhone, an Android phone, Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest, and the model appears in the room. There is no app to install and no separate version to make for each headset.

How it works

One link, opened on any device

ARView uses the AR viewer already built into each device. You upload once, share the link or QR code, and the visitor's device does the rest.

Apple Vision Pro

  1. Open the ARView link in Safari.
  2. The model shows in 3D right in the page. Pinch and drag to turn it.
  3. Tap View in AR to place it in your room at real size.

Meta Quest 3, 3S and Pro

  1. Open the link in the Meta Quest browser.
  2. Tap View in AR.
  3. The model appears in passthrough, so you see it in your real room and can walk around it.

iPhone, iPad and Android

  1. Scan the QR code or tap the link.
  2. Tap View in AR.
  3. Place the model on the floor or a table with Apple Quick Look or Google Scene Viewer.

Who uses it

Show it at real size, wherever your client is

Online stores

Furniture, lighting and decor shoppers can check the size of a product in their own room, on a phone today or a headset at home. Add a View in AR button to any product page from the store tools.

Designers and architects

Send a client one link to a sofa, a fitting or a full room model. They open it on whatever they have, including a Vision Pro in the studio. See ARView Interior.

3D artists and studios

Share work as an AR link instead of a render. A GLB from Blender, Cinema 4D or a scan app is enough. Start with the free AR viewer.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I view a 3D model on Apple Vision Pro without an app?
Yes. Open the ARView link in Safari on Vision Pro. The model shows in 3D on the page, and View in AR places it in your room with Apple's built-in AR viewer. Nothing needs to be installed.
Does ARView work on Meta Quest?
Yes. Open the link in the Meta Quest browser and tap View in AR. The model appears in your room in passthrough, on Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro.
Which 3D file should I upload for headsets?
GLB is the best choice. ARView makes a USDZ copy automatically for Apple devices, so one GLB covers iPhone, Android, Vision Pro and Meta Quest.
Do I need a different link for headsets?
No. It is the same link and the same QR code. ARView detects the device and opens the right viewer.
Does Video AR work on Vision Pro or Meta Quest?
Not yet. Video AR needs to recognise a printed image through the camera, and headset browsers do not give web pages camera access. Video AR works on iPhone and Android. 3D models work on phones and headsets.
Do animations play on Vision Pro?
Animated GLB models play on phones and in the Quest browser. On Vision Pro the model is shown as a still object in AR, because the USDZ copy is made without animation.
