and a Viewer application for viewing and interacting with content created by the

be viewed in 2D or stereoscopic 3D* through the maxReality Viewer application.

including ambient and 3D audio, animation, interaction, blue screening and more.

tracking when used with Vuzix Wrap AR video eyewear products or a USB webcam.
The maxReality Viewer is a free viewer application for playing maxReality creations,
with or without Autodesk 3ds Max. maxReality Viewer supports playback in a
number of view modes, movement between scenes, object interactivity, keyboard
control and more.
