You can upload a 3D model or a scan of your product into BRIO and publish it to distribute it in 3D, VR and/or AR. Once the model is uploaded, you can also add customization options, such as materials or colours, so that your viewers can select the variation that they want to view. You can also add animations to make your scene more dynamic, or demo the functionality of your product.

BRIO was created by a team of visualization experts with 20+ years of experience in developing creative software tools, including industry standard software such as Alias, Mudbox & Houdini. Our team comes from a film, TV and product design background, so it was important to us that BRIO delivered fast rendering, photoreal content.

BRIO also offers interactivity, audio, video, product configuration (customization options), animation, without any app downloads.

Other web-based software enable model-viewing only, and usually require an app to be able to view their AR content – which is a barrier to entry for most audiences.
