Academic spatial publishing

AcademicAR

Share 3D and AR models with academic papers, posters, and presentations.

Upload an STL or GLB model, generate a browser-ready viewer link, create a QR code, and let readers inspect your model in 3D or AR from mobile devices.

How it works

From segmentation model to publication link.

AcademicAR turns technical model files into a shareable academic asset: model upload, GLB viewer, screenshots, QR code, and mobile AR access in one flow.

01

Upload your model

Upload an anonymized STL or GLB segmentation model from your account.

02

Create a publication page

Add title, authors, institution, DOI/PMID, description, and model notes.

03

Get QR and link

Use the generated viewer URL and QR code in papers, posters, and presentations.

04

Show in 3D or AR

Readers can rotate, zoom, inspect, and open the model in AR on supported phones and tablets.

Features

A publication-ready workspace for 3D academic models.

Manage publication metadata, upload models, generate QR codes, capture standard views, and keep public links active for temporary or paid publication windows.

3D model upload

STL and GLB support now, with OBJ planned for the next converter pass.

Web-based viewer

A full-screen browser viewer with metadata and mobile AR controls.

Automatic QR code

Every model receives a shareable viewer URL and QR image.

Publication archive

Project-based model records for papers, posters, and presentations.

Screenshots

Front, right, left, top, and perspective captures for publication assets.

Privacy guardrails

Uploads require anonymization, rights, and ethics responsibility confirmation.

Use cases

Spatial context for any research output.

From clinical segmentations to cultural heritage scans, AcademicAR adapts to the way your readers explore evidence.

Clinical

Patient-specific anatomy

Share segmented CT/MRI structures with the supplementary material of your paper.

Education

Interactive anatomy

Embed AR-ready models in lecture slides and open them on student devices.

Heritage

Site & artifact scans

Publish photogrammetry results alongside descriptive metadata.

Pricing

Simple, publication-aligned plans.

Start with a free preview link. Upgrade per model when the viewer and QR need to stay active alongside the publication.

  • Team workspace Shared dashboards, role-based publishing, and lab-wide model management.
  • Bulk model licensing Pre-purchased model credits for recurring publication and thesis workflows.
  • Custom infrastructure Higher upload limits, dedicated support, and domain or storage alignment.
  • Procurement-ready Custom invoicing, institutional contracts, and renewal planning.
FAQ

Quick answers.

More in the documentation once you create a workspace.

Which file formats can I upload?

GLB, STL, OBJ, and FBX are supported. OBJ/FBX are converted to AR-ready GLB.

Do my readers need an app for AR?

No. Modern iOS and Android browsers open AR directly via Quick Look (USDZ) and Scene Viewer.

Are uploads private by default?

Yes. You control visibility per publication and can keep models unlisted before paper acceptance.

What happens after the access window?

The QR resolver stays stable. Readers see a controlled renewal notice instead of a dead link.
