Practical guides on interactive 3D, AR, and QR codes for research, teaching, and publishing.
Export high-resolution figures from an interactive 3D model with a title, layer legend, scale bar, and QR code, and pair two models in a synchronized comparison for before/after and design studies.
Save up to 12 views of a 3D model — each with camera, layers, colours, and section cut — share each with its own link and QR code, and play them as a guided tour in class or in AR.
How architecture researchers, studios, and students can share building and heritage models online — with live sections, layer-by-layer exploration, saved views, and AR placement.
Upload STEP/STP, FBX, or OBJ assemblies and share them as interactive 3D with one layer per part, cross-sections, clearances, and AR — for engineering papers, theses, and teaching.
How educators and clinician-researchers use layered 3D models, guided tours, and AR to teach anatomy, discuss complex cases, and enrich case reports — responsibly.
Layered 3D models come with automatic measurements: oriented dimensions, maximum diameter, and the closest distance between neighbouring structures — useful in anatomy, morphology, and engineering.
How the section plane and the 2D slice view let readers cut through a 3D model, see every structure in its own colour, and measure on the cut — for anatomy and engineering alike.
Publish segmentations from 3D Slicer, ITK-SNAP, or TotalSegmentator as an interactive, layered 3D model — one colour-coded layer per structure, ready for papers and teaching.
What Hounsfield units are, why bone, skin, and contrast-filled vessels separate at different HU values, and how to pick a preset or custom HU range for a clean 3D model.
How to turn a CT or MRI DICOM series into an interactive, layered 3D model with AR — what to export, how anonymization works, and what happens to the raw scan.
How 3D scanning and augmented reality help archaeologists share, study, and teach with fragile artifacts — without risking the originals.
Why AR and interactive 3D models are reshaping how anatomy is taught — spatial understanding, accessibility, and lower lab costs.
Static figures lose information. Interactive 3D figures improve comprehension, reproducibility, and engagement — and they're easier to add than you think.
A practical comparison of GLB, glTF, STL, OBJ, and FBX for sharing research 3D models online — which to use, and why GLB usually wins for the web.
Best practices for putting QR codes on conference posters: what to link, where to place them, sizing, and how to turn a static poster into an interactive demo.
A step-by-step guide to embedding interactive 3D models and AR in academic papers, theses, and posters using a QR code — no coding required.
