Opening a Twin
Overview
Section titled “Overview”realvirtual WEB opens an industrial digital twin directly in your browser. A twin can arrive as a shared link, a local GLB file, or an example in the public demo. You do not need to install a viewer or create an account to open the public demo or a prepared delivery link.
The preferred delivery format is GLB with rv_extras metadata. It keeps geometry, hierarchy and realvirtual component information together in one self-describing file.
Ways to open a model
Section titled “Ways to open a model”- Shared link or URL — Open the address supplied with the twin. The link can select a prepared model and workspace.
- Local GLB file — Drag a
.glbfile from your computer onto the viewer to open it locally. - Public demo — Open the realvirtual WEB demo to explore a prepared twin without supplying a file.
System requirements and privacy
Section titled “System requirements and privacy”Use a current browser with JavaScript and WebGL enabled. realvirtual WEB supports desktop and tablet use; the available performance depends on the device and the size of the model.
Rendering runs on your device rather than on a remote rendering service. A local file stays in the browser while you view it. When you open a hosted link, the browser downloads the twin from the host selected by its provider; a live setup exchanges only the machine data configured for that connection.
Quick Start
Section titled “Quick Start”- Open the URL supplied with your twin, or open the public demo.
- To use your own file, drag the
.glbfile onto the viewer and wait for the model to fit into view. - Confirm that the scene appears, then select a component or open the hierarchy to start exploring.
- If the model does not load, verify that JavaScript and WebGL are enabled and try the file or link again in a current browser.
