Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE:NTAR, OTCQB:NEXCF, NEO:NTAR) announced that it has joined The Khronos Group as a contributor member. Khronos is an open consortium of pioneering companies creating advanced standards in 3D, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), and Metaverse.
Alongside other major players in the tech industry, joining Khronos affirms the company as a key player and thought leader in the metaverse and 3D modeling industry, Nextech AR said in a statement.
“As 3D visualization technologies become more prevalent, it’s crucial to be able to present these experiences consistently across multiple consumer endpoints like eCommerce websites, apps, in social feeds, and in ad units,” said Nextech’s CEO Evan Gappelberg in a statement.
He added: “Our diverse tech stack and leadership position in the 3D model e-commerce market makes us an ideal member for this group, as we’re able to address a major pain point through our ARitize 3D solutions - transforming content from 2D and CAD into 3D in the most economically scalable method available on the market. “

As active members of Khronos Working Groups, Nextech will collaborate with other notable tech companies to create and define industry standards, keeping the company at the forefront of emerging technology and technological advances, the company said.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company said that the exploratory group will work together to research the creation of standards and guidelines to produce and distribute real-time 3D representations of products so they can be experienced realistically and consistently across all platforms and devices, such as mobile, Web and AR/VR solutions.
With the emergence of 3D as the dominant medium for product manufacturers, retailers, and advertising platforms, key players in the industry are now looking at how to scale production and achieve broad distribution for virtual products with optimized industry workflows to minimize costs, the company said.
Nextech said it is uniquely poised to meet these needs in the industry with its ARitize 3D model factory, creating 3D models and AR visualizations economically and at scale for ecommerce, with the ability to propagate them into the metaverse.
Nextech added that with the combination of ARitize 3D and ARitize CAD, which enables manufacturers to convert CAD files into 3D AR models at scale, the company has a major competitive edge in the 3D modeling market and believes it is well-positioned in becoming the world’s leading 3D modeling factory.
