Hi ProductHunt! Happy to finally unveil Sketchfab AR for iOS today. Thanks to ARKit, we are able to bring AR support to the entire Sketchfab library: almost 2 million things you can bring into the real world with augmented reality. Besides browsing great content from the community, the other cool part about this feature is that it lets you publish any 3D file to AR with no code. Simply upload it to sketchfab.com, and it will show up instantly in the app, and be available in 3D, VR or AR. Quick note on the tech side: this is done through a WebView in a native app, all rendered through WebGL. Means you get to keep the same rendering as in Sketchfab, and that you don't need to download gigs of data to your phone :) Happy to answer any question you may have, and if you shoot cool videos you can share them under the hashtag #madewithSketchfab. Thanks for the support! ps: android support via ARcore coming soon.

@albn Hey there! Do you guys currently support an API that lets you build AR apps using access to the models in your library as potential models for use in 3rd party apps? Also great library, I'm checking it out now!

Sketchfab AR could be amazing but right now it's lacking features and is poorly implemented. It's a 10x better experience using their traditional native 2D model viewer.
