Implementation of 3D Object Models for Mobile Applications in UI/UX Design Using SceneView API

Abstract

The improvement of mobile application has improved over the years with the number of libraries and APIs that are shared for the developers. Resources such as APIs and libraries will brings more items that developers can use and utilized in their software projects mainly mobile applications. Right up to this moment, finding a complete documentation of integrating a 3D object model to a mobile application is very difficult. This brings up the question on to “why developers are not using 3D models to be used in their mobile applications?” It is a valid question because developers will always try and use the newest and latest thing on the market to build their mobile applications, for a 3D object model not included in that category is surprising. For this paper, a deep dive into 3D visualizations API called SceneView will be conducted to see if the 3D model technologies for mobile application is relevant for the current style of mobile application design and understand on what a 3D model can do for a mobile android application when used correctly.
