USDconfig makes configurable B2B products explorable directly in the browser and in Augmented Reality — from a single USDZ master file, without an app on the customer's device, without streaming, without ongoing platform fees.
The core problem with classic configurators: one variant combination, one file — with 40 combinations that means 40 files. USDconfig separates structural from material variants, keeping the file count manageable.
Machine sizes, trim levels, different base types or armrest shapes: structural variants describe different geometries. In USDconfig they are managed as separate USD layers — manageable in number (typically 4–12), not a file explosion.
Colors, fabrics, surfaces, and textures switch via KHR_materials_variants directly in the running 3D model — without a file reload, without a new file. Unlimited color options with no additional storage overhead.
Classic configurators generate one file per combination: 3 bases × 2 armrests × 39 colors = 234 files. USDconfig solves this: 6 structural files, colors inside the model. No combinatorial explosion. No 234 individual files.
Vitra ID Chair — concept view. 39 fabric colors, all structural variants, full AR handoff on iPhone and iPad. All assets are live.

One player that automatically detects the browser path: Safari gets USDZ with full OpenUSD fidelity via the <model> tag; all other browsers get GLB via model-viewer. The AR handoff works on both platforms from a single button.
Safari (macOS, iOS, visionOS): <model> tag with USDZ and full OpenUSD fidelity — Variant Sets directly from the USD schema, no conversion loss. Chrome, Firefox, Edge: model-viewer with GLB and KHR_materials_variants. Both paths, one player, no reload.
WebAR launches directly from the browser — no app download, no IT approval, no registration. The customer sees the configured product in their own space immediately, at real scale. iOS: AR Quick Look. Android: Google Scene Viewer, pre-installed on every modern Android device.
Apple Vision Pro: local rendering via the <model> tag, no streaming, no latency. Keynote and Freeform: the same USDZ file used directly in Apple presentations. Trade shows and field sales: works offline on iPad, no internet connection required.
No SaaS onboarding, no platform dependency. USDconfig is set up on a project basis — and runs at the customer's site afterwards with no further fees.
CAD, GLB, FBX, OBJ, or existing USDZ. The USDconfig Analyzer reads the file and identifies variants, materials, and dependencies.
viSales sets up structural and material variants cleanly. Optimised for mobile devices — even large industrial files without visible quality loss.
The web player is hosted on the customer's website. iframe snippet for CMS integration. After that: no ongoing fees to viSales.
Browser, AR Quick Look, trade show, Keynote, Apple Vision Pro. The product explains itself — no app download on the customer side, no explanation needed.
USDconfig was built so that after setup no infrastructure dependency arises — not promised, but architecturally guaranteed.
The player loads the USDZ/GLB file directly in the browser — no rendering server, no cloud infrastructure, no latency. Works even on factory networks with restricted internet access.
AR Quick Look runs natively on iPhone and iPad — directly from the browser. No App Store, no IT approval, no registration on the customer side. The customer opens a link.
After setup and hosting at the customer's site, no monthly licence costs arise for viSales. No subscription model, no vendor lock-in. The player belongs to the customer.
A USDZ master file is created once — and then used across all sales contexts. USDconfig is the point where it becomes a configurator.
From CAD systems (STEP, SolidWorks, CATIA) or 3D workflows (NVIDIA Omniverse via USDbridge), the USDZ master file is created — the complete asset with all variants and materials.
The USDconfig Analyzer reads the master file and structures variants and materials. The player makes them configurable in the browser and in AR — without a new file per variant combination.
The same file runs without an app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, in the browser on desktop and mobile, on the website and at the trade show stand. The customer experiences the product immediately — no explanation needed, no preparation time. This reduces TTU directly: Shorter conversations, clearer decisions.
USDconfig is the configuration and presentation layer. Around it sit further viSales tools in the same pipeline.
Browser tool that reads any USDZ file locally — no upload. AR Quick Look diagnostics (21 rules, 7 categories), asset inventory, texture analysis, geometry stats. For USDseal-stamped files, provenance, lineage, and manipulation checks are added. Open source, Apache-2.0.
Adapts USD specs from NVIDIA Omniverse so the file runs in AR Quick Look (iPhone, iPad) and on Apple Vision Pro — pure spec adaptation, no polygon reduction, no material rebuild. Engineering assets arrive on sales devices unchanged.
CLI with init, sign, verify, inspect, export, merge. Cryptographically stamps asset sources and licence information into the USDZ file — Ed25519 / COSE_Sign1, C2PA-compatible. Inspector is the browser-side counterpart.
