What Zapworks Designer is
Zapworks Designer is a browser-based, no-code drag-and-drop editor for building web-based augmented, virtual, and mixed reality experiences. Projects can combine face, image, and world tracking, including multiple image targets, and can support passthrough mixed reality with controller interaction on Meta Quest, Pico, and Zapbox headsets. Creators can import GLB or glTF models, including animated assets configured as idle states, actions, or loops. AR Web Embed places interactive 3D experiences in existing websites and can launch them in AR mode. Campaign performance can be measured through the Zapworks dashboard, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity. Documentation includes embedding guides for Framer, Squarespace, Webflow, Weebly, and Wix, plus tutorials and launch notes. Named use cases include prototyping, virtual try-ons, product visualization, and employee onboarding. Self-hosting is limited to Enterprise, and hosted content requires HTTPS for camera access.
