3D asset management can pose a significant problem for Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) applications. The Harvey Mudd Clinic Team is working with Accenture Labs to make AR/VR content management easier by providing a straightforward workflow allowing users to alter their content from within existing tools. The team’s Unity plugin allows inexperienced users to understand the tradeoffs between the visual quality of their assets and app performance, and then manage that tradeoff by customizing their asset’s polygon counts.
