Mixed Reality (MR),<\/strong> also known as hybrid reality, brings together the best of both worlds, blending the actual reality of the physical world around us with the immersive power of virtual reality. Experience MR magic with devices like Microsoft HoloLens, Magic Leap, and other MR headsets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nExample:\u00a0 <\/strong>Drop a 3D design right onto your table while you’re standing there. Feel free to spin it, move it, and dive into interaction. Experiment with different colors or even trigger an explosive view. Your space, your digital design playground!<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/kapost-files-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/kapost\/5bfdf710e787ce000400aa42\/studio\/content\/657731a345383d00f5723958\/html_bodies\/1702311408-7c7ba190-9010-4704-8081-9ceea4e76191\/VR%20example.gif\")

All of this sounds incredible! Now, how can I craft and export my own XR experience?<\/p>\n
\n- In SOLIDWORKS CAD 2024 Standard, Professional and Premium<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Access it by navigating to “File > Save as type > Extended Reality” in the File Menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Our XR output will now use *.glTF and *.glb file types. They’re super light and can zip 3D stuff between apps at lightning speed. Fast runtime, quick uploads\/downloads, and they make interactive 3D magic on web pages. They’re basically the “JPEG of 3D” because they’re just that awesome!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- These innovative file formats (.glTF and .glb) seamlessly integrates advanced features from your SOLIDWORKS file, such as:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
o\u00a0\u00a0 Geometry & Scene Hierarchy<\/p>\n
o\u00a0\u00a0 Appearances & Textures<\/p>\n
o\u00a0\u00a0 Lights and Cameras<\/p>\n
o\u00a0\u00a0 Exploded Views<\/p>\n
o\u00a0\u00a0 Motion Study Animations<\/p>\n
o\u00a0\u00a0 Display States and Configurations<\/p>\n
\n- In SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2024 Standard and Professional<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Navigate to \u201cFile > Export\u201d to access it. In the “Save as type” option, you can export in formats like *.glTF, *.glb, and a Draco compression version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The Draco extension to glTF allows creators to compress mesh data within glTF files, significantly reducing file sizes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0If you’re a SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional user seeking Nvidia Holodeck output, I recommend using the \u201cFile > Export > Export to NVIDIA Holodeck,\u201d option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In a nutshell, Extended Reality (XR) rocks our world! It changes how we play with digital stuff, learn new things, team up with others, and explore the awesomeness around us. XR brings innovation to different areas, making our personal and work lives way cooler. And you know what’s super exciting? XR tech is only getting started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
