FAQ
Options: (1) Use existing CAD if available (free); (2) AI generation via Aeion's Luma/Meshy/Tripo3D ($0.10-1.50 per asset); (3) Photogrammetry (scan with smartphone); (4) Hire 3D modeler ($100-5,000 per product depending on complexity). Most retailers start with AI generation + refine.
3D models add 1-5 MB depending on quality. Lazy-loading (don't load until user scrolls to viewer) keeps page load impact minimal. Progressive LOD streams details as needed.
No dedicated embedding app yet — drop the generated iframe snippet into your Shopify product template. Aeion Singularity has a separate Shopify connector for importing product/order/customer data, which is unrelated to the 3D viewer embed.
Same pattern — embed the iframe snippet directly in your product page template. No dedicated WordPress plugin at this time.
Aeion tracks per-product engagement: 3D rotations, variant clicks, AR usage, time on viewer, "add to cart" rate. Compare to flat-photo baseline.
3D viewers don't directly impact SEO (Google doesn't index 3D content). But engagement signals + lower bounce rate + longer time on page DO improve SEO indirectly.
Per-model size: 1-3 MB optimized for mobile. Reasonable on 4G/5G. Wi-Fi-only loading option available for users on metered plans.
Comparable for most use cases. Native apps slightly more polished; WebXR/USDZ catches up rapidly.
Industry-published data varies. Furniture + home goods tend to see the largest reduction; fashion less; jewelry +AR meaningful but smaller effect. Highly dependent on category.
The iframe embed itself carries no visible Aeion branding by default. Check current plan documentation for custom-domain availability.
