Vitrine turns 3D files into photoreal AR presentations. Import CAD and 3D files (STL, OBJ, glTF/GLB — including Draco-compressed — and USDZ), drop on physically-based materials, pick studio-grade lighting, and walk your client around the result at true scale through the iPhone or iPad camera. • Import: STL, OBJ+MTL, glTF/GLB (incl. Draco), USDZ/Reality — with automatic repair, welding and smart decimation • Materials: 60+ PBR presets, or apply the file's own materials • Lighting: 15 environments, including real HDR image-based lighting • Configurators: capture states (colors, exploded views) viewers switch with one tap; Auto-Explode builds the exploded view for you • Stories: guided step-by-step walkthroughs — states, viewpoints and your text, paged with arrows in the viewer and in AR • Stage in AR: arrange parts at true scale in the real room and capture the result as a state • Callouts: numbered pins with notes, photos and links — drag them across the model to place them • AR anchoring five ways: tabletop, any surface (LiDAR), printed QR marker (live-tracked) — face and body anchoring return in a coming update • Exhibition mode (Pro): lock a device to curated scenes for fairs and showrooms — passcode-gated exit; Stand Statistics count what visitors actually opened (on-device only) • App Clip (Marque): print a Visitor Link code and anyone can open your scene instantly — no install, hosted on YOUR web space, never ours • LiDAR scanning (Pro), USDZ export (Pro), unlimited projects (Pro) • Ready-made example scenes and models for every AR mode Free to use with three projects and every core tool. One purchase unlocks Pro — no subscription, no accounts, no data collection.
