Learn how to use our system with Google Scene Viewer.

Google Scene Viewer enables you to view your 3D models on any surface in your environment through a web browser or app.

Before using Google Scene Viewer make sure that your iOS device is compatible with ARKit or that your Android device has ARCore or Google Play Services for AR installed.

Adding 3D Content

Add a model asset or image asset through the console. You can choose any type of target. Here's how:

Launching the Scene Viewer App

Option 1: Scan a QR code

Once the 3D asset is set you can view it instantly with Scene Viewer.

Scan the QR code with your phone's camera app or with a QR reader app.

Latest iOS and Android phones are able to read QR code with their default camera apps.

Option 2: Go directly to website

You can browse directly to the short link:

Alternately, you can also browse directly to:

https://api.echo3D.com/webar?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&entry=<ENTRY_ID>

Seeing 3D Content in AR

Move the phone around until it detects the surface around you. The 3D model should appear on top of the detected surface. You might need to scale the model to make it fit the screen view.

Switching between 3D Content

You can instantly view all 3D assets in a particular project through Scene Viewer.

Viewing multiple assets is only available on the Pro and Custom plans.

Go directly to:

https://api.echo3D.com/webar?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>

If your project includes more than one 3D asset, a carousel of 3D assets will appear at the bottom of the screen.

Switch between the assets by clicking their thumbnail in the asset carousel.

The carousel of 3D assets can also appear in the AR view but only on Android devices.

Changing the Default AR Mode or Placement

Different AR modes allow for different features (such as occlusion, UI, wall placement, etc.) to take effect in the web AR viewer

If you'd like to change the default AR mode or placement used to view the 3D content, go back to the console and add metadata to change the default mode or placement. After adding metadata, relaunch the experience.

The following metadata keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to set the default AR mode or placement:

Remember to relaunch the experience after adding metadata with Scene Viewer experiences for the change to take effect.

Getting 3D Content based on Location

You can choose to retrieve only 3D assets that include a geolocation target set to a specific location around a specific radius.

Viewing assets around a location is available in the Pro and Custom plans.

Go directly to:

https://api.echo3D.com/webar?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&location=<LAT>,<LONG>&radius=<RADIUS>

Password-Protecting Content

You can password-protect WebAR experiences so that users that access the experience will be prompted to enter a password.

If you'd like to password-protect the 3D content, go back to the console and add metadata to set a password. After adding metadata, relaunch the experience.

The following key is a word the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to password-protect content:
