How real-time product swaps and selectors work in MarTech3D

MarTech3D lets you create real-time product swaps and interactive selectors directly inside your 3D apps. This gives users the power to explore different products, models, variants, or configurations — all within the same environment.

It’s fast, intuitive, and fully visual — no reloading, no separate files, no technical knowledge required.

🔄 What is a product swap?

A product swap lets the user instantly switch between products in a shared scene.

Examples:

Swap one machine model for another in the same factory setting
Show the same product in different sizes, specs, or finishes
Let users explore variations — e.g. a steel vs. plastic version
Instantly replace a forklift, conveyor, or cabinet with another from your product line

This is ideal for comparing models side by side or tailoring demos to different buyers.

🎛️ What is a product selector?

A product selector is a visual menu, dropdown, or grid that allows the user to choose what product appears in the 3D scene.

Selectors can include:

Product names, thumbnails, or icons
Filtered options (e.g. by category, material, use case)
Multi-layer selection (e.g. choose model → then size → then color)

⚙️ How it works

All swaps are:

Handled in real-time using our optimised 3D engine
Seamlessly integrated — no app reloads or lag
Controlled via a built-in UI or customised menu
Available online and offline

The 3D scene updates instantly based on the user’s selection, with full interactivity preserved.

🧩 Can I customise the experience?

Yes — you can define:

Which products are swappable
Whether they appear in the same location or change the entire scene
How the selector looks and behaves
Whether swaps trigger other events (like camera movements or animations)

🧠 Why use real-time product swaps?

Give buyers control — let them explore the model that fits their needs
Reduce complexity — one app covers your whole range
Create scalable tools — no need for multiple apps or pages
Support sales — reps can tailor demos in real time

🔄 Works online and offline
