Our 3D asset management platform solves that. Developers struggle to create scalable and dynamic 3D/AR/VR apps. Today’s 3D/AR/VR apps are single-user experiences with static and hard-to-update content. It’s difficult to update 3D content across different platforms which often have platform-specific specifications. Developers struggle to onboard clients since any change in the app results in endless development cycles. In order to scale the development of front-end-heavy experiences like 3D/AR/VR apps, a cross-platform backend infrastructure is needed: “the AWS of 3D/AR/VR”. Before starting our company, we conduct interviews with developers who validated that key development tools are missing. We decided to build it for them. Today, we help developers and companies move their 3D assets to the cloud, allowing them to reduce their app size, update 3D content remotely, and stream new updates in real-time to different platforms, without the need to re-develop or re-deploy their apps. Businesses love us since we help them build better & more engaging 3D apps in a cost-effective way, and developers love us since we make their lives easier, with our seamless integration to all popular development environments, game engines, and XR frameworks and SDKs. Our mission is to help developers & companies manage and stream 3D assets and our vision is to become the #1 platform of cloud services for 3D apps Standing Out from The Crowd echo3D is redefining how people create 3D, Metaverse, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and spatial computing experiences. We make it simple for developers to host, manage, and publish 3D content with our flexible cloud infrastructure, intuitive content management system, fast content delivery network, and other best-in-class tools. With a killer team of 3D industry experts and pioneers, we focus on providing the easiest way for developers (just like us!) to deliver fresh 3D content instantly with no redevelopment or redeployment needed. echo3D is proudly backed by Qualcomm Ventures, Konvoy Ventures, Remagine Ventures, Space Capital, and Techstars, and recently won the , Auggie Award for Best Developer Tool at AWE 2023 Our Predictions/Thoughts on the 3D Industry in 2023 When Apple releases something, the world pays attention — especially when it’s the long-anticipated XR headset they started R&D on in 2015. Along with the announcement of , Apple also announced , the operating system that the headset will run on. This additional catalyst for growth of the 3D industry will inspire more people to consider the need for 3D asset management.
