Is this something worth checking out? https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/scene-viewer

SceneViewer is legacy and should only be used when WebXR is not available.
If you want to support only minimal interaction (e.g. static models or max. 1 animation) then youāll probably be fine using modelviewer.dev which has fallbacks for SceneViewer (itās just ācall the right URL with a .glb fileā) and QuickLook (another case of ācall the right URL with a .usdz fileā)
I wish Google would update docs to state that sceneviewer is legacy, I might send some tweets out to them about this

Well ālegacyā in the sense of āWebXR is now supported pretty widely and even model-viewer has switched to WebXR by defaultā
Itās still used when you e.g. google for āLionā and then press the AR button that pops up
Canāt use interactions, canāt use custom rendering, canāt use DOM Overlay and so on, itās really āQuickLook but for Androidā
With modelviewer.dev I assume i could send out a url with the url to the glb file from our FTP server in the parameters to save myself doing lots of ācan we just put this model in needleā every time I get given a 3d file from a client

Yep gonna skip on that implementation for sure as we currently avoid quick look too. Looking into ways to quickly show a model without much user input as I keep getting asked to whack a model in Needle and do a build

You could just make a simple viewer where you can pass URLs in. Depends on how long it stays in that ācan we just have a modelā phase and how quickly it turns into ācan you now click on this to make something happenā
I relate to that strongly, but keeping the reigns on workflows right now so itās a case of a ālook donāt touchā kind of setup. I think Iāll make a viewer with parameters so then I can at least build more into it over time and it solves the need of previewing a glb
