Sketchfab Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Augmented reality uses the existing real-world environment and puts virtual information on top of it to enhance the experience. Developers use AR development platforms to blend the digital content with the user’s real-world environment. The platforms help create and edit 3D digital interactive content from real-time use of information via text, graphics, audio, and other enhancements integrated with real-world objects. The creation of 3D objects can be done on one platform but can be used cross-platform in Android, iOS, Windows & smart glasses, etc. The AR experience is most often delivered via projected graphic overlays or graphics displayed on a head-mounted display (HMD), smartphone, or tablet. Some of the AR development platforms also allow easy integration with third-party rendering tools like Unity and Unreal Engine.
