French modelling network Sketchfab continues its work. Developing a VR(Virtual Reality)Â headset enabling imaging of 3D models, the company is announced to add new features to this product.
3D model sharing and imaging platform, Sketchfab offered the opportunity of VR imaging for 3D models with its VR headset introduced in May. The company soon began to improve this product with new applications.
The Sketchfab VR apps work with the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Gear VR and Cardboard. The startup already announced support for Google Cardboard back in January thanks to WebVR. But now that other (more powerful) headsets are out, it’s good to see expanded support with native apps.
Sketchfab is all about viewing 3D models. Think about it as a sort of YouTube or SoundCloud for 3D files. So it makes perfect sense that you’d want to move around 3D models with a VR headsets. It’s much more immersive than having to drag your mouse or finger around the screen.
Right now, the Sketchfab app supports a selection of 3D models as a demonstration. But the plan is to expand to Sketchfab’s entire library of 3D models.
