Augmented Reality (AR)

Enable AR experiences for your 3D configurator projects. Desktop users see a QR code, mobile users launch native AR viewers (Scene Viewer on Android, AR Quick Look on iOS).

Upload USDZ File (iOS)

Upload a .usdz file for native iOS AR Quick Look support. Without a USDZ file, iOS devices may fall back to a less reliable GLB-based AR experience.

POST/projects/:id/usdz
curl -X POST \
  ".../projects/PROJECT_ID/usdz" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -F "[email protected]"

# Response:
{
  "success": true,
  "usdzId": "uuid",
  "usdzPath": "userId/project-usdz/...",
  "fileName": "model.usdz"
}

Tip: Convert GLB to USDZ using Apple's Reality Converter (macOS), Blender's USDZ export, or online tools like glb-to-usdz.com.

Delete USDZ File

DELETE/projects/:id/usdz/:usdzId

Track AR Analytics Event

Record AR interaction events. This endpoint is public (no auth) and used via sendBeacon from the viewer. Fire-and-forget.

POST/ar-analytics
{
  "event": "ar_launch_ios",
  "projectId": "PROJECT_ID",
  "shareToken": "optional",
  "meta": { "source": "qr_code" }
}

// Valid event types:
// ar_dialog_open, ar_qr_copy, ar_qr_open_tab,
// ar_launch_ios, ar_launch_android,
// ar_auto_launch, ar_page_view

Get AR Analytics Summary

Fetch aggregated AR analytics for a project (requires auth).

GET/projects/:id/ar-analytics
// Response:
{
  "projectId": "...",
  "totalEvents": 142,
  "byEvent": {
    "ar_dialog_open": 58,
    "ar_launch_ios": 41,
    "ar_launch_android": 29,
    "ar_qr_copy": 14
  },
  "lastUpdated": "2026-03-17T...",
  "recentEvents": [...]
}

Public USDZ URL (Share Viewer)

Get a signed URL for a shared project's USDZ file. Used by the share viewer to launch iOS AR Quick Look with the USDZ file.

GET/share/:projectId/usdz

AR Project Settings

AR behavior is controlled via Project Settings fields. Set these when saving a project:

{
  "enableAR": true,           // Master toggle
  "arUsdzFileName": "...",    // iOS USDZ file name
  "arUsdzModelPath": "...",   // Storage path (set by upload)
  "arUsdzModelId": "...",     // Storage ID (set by upload)
  "arAutoLaunch": true,       // Auto-launch AR on ?ar=1
  "arAnalyticsEnabled": true  // Track AR events
}
