Requirements:
- A Ocavu Account (How do I get an Ocavu account?)
- 3D Models loaded into Ocavu Portal (How do I request or upload 3D models of my products?)
What is a Universal Link?
Ocavu Portal provides universal links for each model in your account. These links can be opened on virtually any platform:
- Desktops and Laptops (Windows/Mac/Linux)
- Smartphones (iOS/Android)
- Internet Browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari/IE11)
When the link is loaded, it will launch the best 3D or Augmented Reality experience available for that particular platform:
| AR Capable Browser | 3D Capable Browser | |
|---|---|---|
| AR Capable iOS Device | AR via QuickLook | 3D via WebGL |
| AR Capable Android Device | AR via SceneViewer | 3D via WebGL |
| 3D Capable Device | 3D via WebGL | 3D via WebGL |
After the 3D/AR experience is exited, the page will attempt to self close (if the universal link was opened from another website). If the universal link was accessed directly, it will remain open and display the public details of the 3D model:
- Name
- Description
- Preview Image
- Product Page Link
NOTE: The Universal Link opens on a domain managed by Ocavu (view.ocavu.com) It is generally recommended to use the Ocavu Web SDK to install the 3D/AR feature on your website. This enables the ideal user experience, which keeps your users on your website.
Where do I find the Universal Link?
- Navigate to Ocavu Portal.
- Select the desired model.
- Click the "Share" action from the context menu, dropdown, or toolbar.
- A dialog will appear that contains that model's Universal Link, as well as a QR code of that Universal Link.
