Just updated to macOS 12.3. Now the AR Quick Look scene that is launched by Safari Tech Preview <model> has a smooth connection to browser pointer events. Prior it was very laggy and erratic. Normal Safari still has the old behavior and even crashes.

Wait the *desktop* browser can launch AR QL? I don’t understand.

macOS can launch/preview .reality and .usdz scenes and use the 3D view of ARQL for that. And Safari <model> does so as well and forwards mouse drag from the browser to that native process

Safari will show it inside the browser window? Screenshot?

Works both on mobile/desktop Safari.

sweet! now when does it come to other browsers 😅? You think Google will break cross-browser uniformity? Or maybe Autodesk can bridge the gap? Embed a fallback into @modelviewer? I just want interactive AR self-contained files that work across everything. Too much too ask?

The <model> element has been submitted for consideration by @ImmersiveWebW3C github.com/immersive-web/pro… and was discussed by the group back in October w3.org/2021/10/15-immersive-…

Interesting, how all participants focus on their own domain and even downplay the benefits for non-3d-expert web developers. My personal experience with model-viewer was very buggy and especially slots (hotspots) are bolted on, hard/very limited to customize and don't work in XR!
