Streamline Your 3D Workflow

Getting 3D models onto a standalone headset can be a friction-heavy process. Glimpse removes the barriers by supporting the formats you already use.


Optimized for GLB, Built for Versatility

While we recommend the GLB format for its efficiency and all-in-one portability (textures & animation), Glimpse now supports FBX, OBJ, and STL to ensure your existing assets are always viewable in VR.

  • GLB Standard
  • Multi-Format
  • Fast Loading
Loading Models

Seamless Local
File Management

Typing long URLs in VR is a thing of the past. Glimpse focuses on a "Local First" approach for instant loading times and privacy.

  • Cloud Downloads: Open the Quest Browser, log into Drive/Sketchfab, download your file, and launch Glimpse.
  • Multi-Format: Support for .glb, .fbx, .obj, and .stl files.
  • USB Transfer: Drag-and-drop files from your PC directly to the Quest via USB.
Environment

Environment &
Mixed Reality

View your models in your physical room using the Quest’s high-res Passthrough (MR) mode, or switch to a full virtual studio.

Includes adjustable shadow planes, customizable reflection probes, and dynamic sun/lighting controls to match your artistic vision.

Interaction

Precision Interaction
& Inspection

A user interface that stays out of your way. Enjoy precise movement and rotation controls via controller input.

Switch instantly between 'Tabletop Mode' for inspection and '1:1 Scale' for real-world context validation.

Core Capabilities

Built for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

  • High-Fidelity

    Support for albedo, metalness, roughness, and lightmaps for realistic rendering.

  • Animation & Morphs

    Full control over skeletal animations and Morph Targets (Blend Shapes).

  • Mixed Reality

    Toggle Passthrough to place 3D objects directly in your living room or office.

  • Multi-Format

    Now supporting FBX (Rigged), OBJ (Static), and STL (3D Printing) alongside GLB.

Future Development

We are actively developing the next generation of Glimpse.

Glimpse is growing from a hobby project into a professional tool. Upcoming features for the Pro version include:

  • Hand Tracking 2.0: Ditch the controllers and manipulate objects with natural gestures.
  • Multi-Model Staging: Load and arrange multiple files to create complete scenes.
  • Hierarchy Explorer: Deep dive into your model's node structure with visibility toggles.
  • Pro Environments: Exclusive access to studio-grade lighting setups.
