Expert Feature Package

Build immersive and advanced visualization experiences using instant3Dhub’s Expert Feature Package. This package focuses on high-end use cases such as analysis, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and spatially aware visualization scenarios that extend beyond traditional 3D viewing and engineering workflows.

The Expert Feature Package builds on the capabilities of the basic and advanced packages and can be combined freely to support your custom applications.

With the Expert Feature Package, you can:

  • Analyze deviations and results using comparison and heatmaps

  • Place and visualize 3D content directly in the real world

  • Create immersive AR and VR experiences

  • Connect digital 3D data with physical objects and environments

  • Support advanced use cases such as remote assistance, inspection, and digital twins

Note

Features marked with Experimental are not yet generally available (GA) and may still change.

Analysis

Should-Is Comparison

Use the InstanceGraphAPI to perform as-designed vs. as-built comparison, revealing geometric deviations between versions through edge-based comparison:

  • Compare target and actual geometry

  • Reveal deviations down to edge level

  • Support inspection, quality assurance, and validation

For color-only comparison, see Color Comparison.

Heatmap

Experimental

Use the ViewerHeatmapAPI to visualize scalar values as a color-coded heatmap on geometry:

  • Map simulation results or deviation data onto the model

  • Communicate analysis results visually

  • Identify critical regions at a glance

XR

Anchoring & Scale

Use the RealityAPI to anchor 3D content in the real world and scale it correctly relative to the physical environment:

  • Place 3D content at real-world positions

  • Scale digital data to match physical objects

  • Establish a stable spatial reference for AR scenarios

SLAM Tracking

Position and visualize 3D content relative to the real world using device-integrated SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) tracking:

  • Anchor 3D data spatially using camera and sensor input

  • Share pose and video information for collaborative scenarios

  • Support remote assistance, inspection, and live guidance workflows

Model Tracking

With instant3Dhub, benefit from the only technology providing fully automated Augmented-Reality-as-a-Service for arbitrary 3D data sets.

With instant3Dhub, this capability is delivered as Augmented-Reality-as-a-Service and represents a best-in-class solution for arbitrary 3D data sets — without manual preprocessing. Model tracking combines device sensor data with robust server-side processing to support reliable, real-world alignment:

  • Track arbitrary 3D data sets automatically

  • Maintain stable alignment between physical objects and digital representations

  • Enable spatially accurate AR experiences at industrial scale

This best-in-class capability forms the foundation for advanced, real-world AR scenarios involving complex geometry and dynamic environments.

VisionLib by Visometry

instant3Dhub integrates VisionLib by Visometry, an industry-leading computer vision tracking engine, at the service level to deliver robust and high-fidelity tracking for immersive AR scenarios.

By combining VisionLib’s tracking technology with instant3Dhub’s platform capabilities, complex AR applications can be realized for scenarios such as maintenance, inspection, digital twins, and advanced visualization.

Scanshots

Use the ViewerPointCloudAPI to capture and inspect point-cloud scanshots of physical environments, bringing real-world geometry into the 3DSpace:

  • Capture point-cloud snapshots from scanning devices

  • Bring real-world geometry into the 3DSpace

  • Combine scanned data with existing 3D models for reality-capture workflows
