Quick Look Showcase

Apple's Quick Look framework displays interactive 3D scenes with RealityKit. It's an alternative to WebXR, allowing for browser-based Augmented Reality Experiences. It supports high-quality materials, animations, spatial audio and a set of common interactive components.

Many of the experiences below are made possible through Needle Engine, providing seamless web and AR experiences that work everywhere – on screens and in spatial environments.
