Additional Download: USDZ File for Augmented Reality A USDZ file is also available for download as part of this project. The USDZ file is especially useful for virtually placing the model, for example on a table or floor, to check its size, proportions and appearance in the room before 3D printing. The USDZ format allows you to view the 3D model in augmented reality (AR). Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad and Mac support USDZ files natively, so the file can be opened and viewed directly in Safari, Mail, Messages or the Files app – no additional app is required. Users of other operating systems (e.g. Android or Windows) need a dedicated USDZ viewer or compatible 3D software, such as Adobe Aero or Blender (with USDZ plugin), to view the file. ? Download USDZ
