Nextech’s Metaverse Suite is easy to use. Customers will have a single login and account, giving them access to all of Nextech AR products as listed below:
- 3D Modelling (ARitize 3D, ARitize CAD, ARitize Configurator, ARitize Swirl)
- 3D Holograms (ARitize Holograms, ARitize CPG)
- 3D Mapping (ARitize Maps, ARitize Maps Studio)
Once a customer signs up they can launch the web-based apps, have access to helpful links, the support center, and learn about other products with more information, videos, and examples. This is a major milestone for the company and has significant revenue implications by increasing the Company’s potential for monthly and annual recurring revenue (MRR/ARR).
Max Hwang, SR. Vice President of Engineering at Nextech AR commented, “This unifying platform is a cross-team integration that requires an all hands on deck effort. We took a long-term view in gathering the requirements by soliciting not only from internal products but also from 3rd party applications. Metaverse Suite also introduces the new platform that our current and future products are being built on. The contemporary architectural design offers additional design and customization capabilities as we continue to add more innovative features.”

Brynne Kennedy, Director of UX/UI Product Design at Nextech AR commented, “The focus of the user experience for the Nextech Metaverse Suite design was to create a seamless experience for our clients, enabling them to access their files, and our products, all in one location and in one cohesive experience. We wanted to create a convenient and efficient experience where our clients can not only access and open all of our products, but to learn about upcoming products as well. It’s just the beginning of a multifaceted tool that’s going to be a game changer!”
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech AR commented, “I’m very excited about what we’re bringing to market today, and I think it’s game changing for our Company and the industry as well. Customers will not only be able to create and manage all of their 3D models in one location but also with a single click be able to add additional features and 3D technology to their accounts. They can create 3D models using 2D images or CAD files, and then embed those 3D product models directly on their website with a click of a button. Customers can then take it a step further, using those same 3D models and enhance them with the ARitize Configurator creating multiple product textures and colors, or choose our interactive ARitize Swirl 3D banners for their website. With the Nextech Metaverse Suite, the Company provides its customers with what they really want… the one-stop 3D solution that is high quality and scalable, in a seamless and frictionless environment - welcome to the Nextech Metaverse Suite!”.
SaaS
As previously stated, Nextech views SaaS as a significant advancement of all its 3D modelling and augmented reality solutions. SaaS integration has enormous implications for scalability and the company's future revenue growth. With this SaaS rollout, the Company is moving away from its managed solutions and moving toward monthly recurring revenue (MRR), business scalability, and low to no-touch AR for ecommerce.
Nextech Metaverse Suite Product Descriptions
ARitize 3D
A WebAR Solution for eCommerce that is a component of the Nextech AR platform and is an end-to-end AR platform with content creation, hosting and viewing of AR/3D assets all in one. ARitize 3D for eCommerce tools give users the ability to embed a 3D model in a product page on an ecommerce website. This embedded experience, once rendered in a shopper’s browser, will provide a 3D model experience that a shopper can easily manipulate and explore. Works across all mobile and desktop devices on the web.
ARitize CAD
ARitize CAD enables the conversion of CAD files into 3D/AR models at scale. CAD is a function of product engineering. Industrial designers, working for product manufacturers, use CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.) to design many of the products in the modern world. Using ARitize CAD, those files can be converted to 3D/AR models with the creation of photo realistic, fully textured 3D models from raw CAD models and reference images. This technology creates optimized 3D meshes that are suitable for 3D and AR applications.
ARitize Configurator
View custom made products with our configurator tool that swaps colors and textures at the click of a button
ARitize Swirl
An ARitize Swirl is a swirling (rotating) 3D asset on the header or page of an ecommerce website. In a few simple steps, any customer can create a fully interactive ARitize Swirl 3D/AR banner using their existing 3D models and embed them into their ecommerce website to create 6X higher purchase intent, increase conversions and click-through rates. The ARitize Swirl self-serve creator tool is an upsell opportunity for existing ARitize 3D clients, and allows for the creation and management of 3D and AR banners for their ecommerce websites, highlighting the products that clients wish to promote.
