“IKEA has, for more than 15 years, been implementing large scale 3D use and promoting open standards and collaboration to make our products accessible to the many suppliers, coworkers and customers. We have been searching for a non-proprietary standard format to author and store 3D content to connect our value chain even closer, and develop home furnishing solutions to a lower price. AOUSD is a big step in that direction. We are excited to make our contribution to it.”
