Is it possible having multiple models into a single AR?

Hi,

Using model viewer, can we have multiple models appear on AR mode and be able to move each model individually?
Can we have 2 model viewer HTML tags inside our single HTML file?

Thanks.

Hi, I am definitely no expert but to have multiple models on AR mode, you should set your model/scene that way. (Go with WebXR way etc.) For iOS, you can serve .reality scenes with multiple models and interactions but they wouldn't come from two different model viewer tags in one HTML file.

On the other hand, having more than one model-viewer element inside a single HTML is definitely possible. Complete model-viewer documentation works similar way :) Just check this page

@btutal is correct; we have some thoughts about independently moving models around in AR, but it hasn't been implemented yet.

@elalish Thanks for the response,

I just wanted to check if there are any timelines on this, that way it becomes easier for us to plan.

Well, I'm hoping to get multiple-model support in the next few months, but it'll only be programmatic movement. If you're hoping for a nice AR-UX for dragging things around, I could honestly use some UX mocks. Are you interested in collaborating?

Hello everyone! Are there any updates on this feature? My team is currently developing a capstone project at our university, and our panelist asked us if we could implement multiple models into a single AR

It's in progress, but not sure of timeline.
