3deposit is a 3D content storage & publication platform. Key features include a custom deposit form, automated deposit metadata harvesting, batch deposits, configurable endpoints, file integrity checking, and a content 'gallery builder'. 3deposit aims to be extensible, portable, and compatible with existing content preservation systems. Ongoing support and features are planned.
3deposit uses object storage. Instances can be configured to store objects locally or in a remote bucket. Remote buckets can be self-hosted with a MinIO server or with S3-compatbile providers, such as AWS.
3deposit natively supports three media types::
- 3D models
- 360 videos
- Virtual Reality applications
| Type | Endpoint |
|---|---|
| 3D models | Sketchfab |
| 360 videos | Vimeo |
| VR* | AWS S3 |
*Properly configured WebVR applications will be published to static hosting. There is an experiemental feature to automatically port desktop VR applications to web-embeddable formats.
Custom services can be added to support additional media types & endpoints. 3deposit's simple API and service SDK makes this a relatively painless affair.
