The easiest method to enrich your apps with 3D data is by referencing it using URIs which are translated to static or even dynamic service interfaces. These interfaces provide authorisation, change-managment and multi-format support based on HTTP standards.
Our simple yet powerful architecture builds on well established RFC2616/HTTP1.1 and RFC2077/3D-Model standards. This allows solution builders to integrate additional data or service layers on the fly without additional registration, installation or API dependencies.
The basic architecture allows the integration of various data and API gateway structures which provide different security, distribution and domain aspects
