Convert your 2D images into Augmented Reality content for Android
It’s rare that 2D images do justice to the product or design you are trying to sell. But what if your online offering could look as good on an Android mobile device as they do in real life? Well, that’s what GLB files do.
Google ARCore technology utilizes GLB/GITF file formats on supported Android devices to offer augmented reality experiences in web browsers (WebAR).
Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert to create GLB files. CartMagician’s conversion tools will take your 2D JPEG or PNG files and convert them into GLB for you in just a few clicks.
