What is VueXR?

VueXR is an AR & VR media sharing platform that allows 3D creators to upload and share XR media content with the world without writing a single line of code.

Creators can create their own XR media channel and publish 3D media content on VueXR to showcase it to the world in AR or VR on Android, iOS, Web and HMD devices without the need of writing single line of code. Creators just publish once and users can view it on all available platforms.

At VueXR, sharing XR media content to other social media platforms is just a click away. Here a short link of the content is shared, clicking which will open the XR content directly in the VueXR app or website.

VueXR provides a Unity 3D plugin called VueXR Rig to manage XR media content directly from the Unity 3D editor software. It can be downloaded from Unity's asset store for FREE.

VueXR provides an online portfolio management system for every creator with a public profile for XR artwork showcase. Creators can manage the XR media content in their profile using VueXR Rig(Unity 3D plugin), website and mobile app.

VueXR provides content creators with the liberty to create 3D assets in any 3D editor software and showcase them in AR or VR and boils down XR media publishing steps to just #create, #upload and #share.

Using VueXR platform, creators can Geo-tag XR media content on GPS locations with respect to true north. This content is only visible to the viewers when they are in the visibility range of the spot.

At VueXR, users can play XR media content from various creators on a single platform. The XR player in VueXR app allows users to experience every XR media content with 6DOF.

VueXR player detects the ground planes and spawns the XR media on the detected plane using state of the art computer vision algorithms. It can be any horizontal flat surface such as desk, table, floor, etc.

VueXR player allows users to play and pause XR media content in 3D. Pausing an XR content in mixed reality can give the user a feeling of time freeze or moving at the speed of light.

A Vue is a creative combination of animated 3D objects, particle systems and sounds that could be made and put together in Unity 3D and uploaded to VueXR in AR & VR.

It is a 3D Simulation that is played around the viewer in virtually generated AR/VR environment respective to the viewers GPS location. Here viewers can move around the scene if required and view it from any angle they want. It gives the feeling of being a part of the scene.

Vue can be created and uploaded by anyone and everyone. An animated or still 3D object that is created in any 3D editor can be converted to a vue using Unity 3D engine.

It is similar to using 2D content sharing platforms to reach the masses but here everything is played around the viewer in AR & VR. You just have to be creative. VueXR is an innovation that is about to transform the way we communicate and share ideas using existing mobile technology. No need to create custom applications for Android ARcore and Ios ARkit to showcase your products.

Since the start of the 21st century, Digital Media has been on its peak, with new ways and technological advancements we have found innovative ways to entertain the viewers. Our journey from radio to TV and computer to Mobile devices has been very progressive. At first, it was just the sound that amused us, then came the TV with moving images and sound, the computer and smartphones changed the way we communicate and entertain ourselves. Till now we have been amused by 2D content such as images, gifs, videos etc.. But what about the devices of the future? AR/VR Devices that are placed right above the viewer's eyes and projects (displays) 3D content around the viewer. Today The smartphones and AR/VR devices are laced with sensors that allow the applications to perform such complex tasks beautifully. This is the new era of entertainment. Vues breaks the barrier of 2D and allows the viewers to conceptualize the scene easily as it makes them feel that they are part of it.

Any 3D animated or still content that is created to render a 2D video can be converted into a Vue. In this era, videography has taken a digital avatar, movies, games, music videos, educational videos, Tutorials, commercials, etc. are created using 3D engines and editors. To create such effects in videos the scene is simulated using computers and then rendered to create a video. Once the video is done the 3D project is useless as there is no such player that plays such simulated content until now. VueXR allows users to upload still and animated 3D objects as well as displays it around the viewers on mobile devices.

Vues can be created using “ Unity 3D” engine, which is available for free from, "https://store.unity.com/"

To learn more about the formats supported by Unity 3D engine go to this link, "https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/3D-formats.html"

Unity 3D is an engine that allows users to simulate and animate or create games, it does not allow you to create and edit 3d meshes, this has to be done in 3D editors like Blender, 3D max, Maya, etc.

Download VueXR Rig from unity asset store and import it into your project. Now just create a prefab of your 3D gameobject and hit build from the Vues Menu into the unity editor main menu layout. Once done, just hit upload and you are done.
