<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ginnie,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I haven’t really worked with 3D files, but my assumption is that these would all be proprietary (native) project files. I think, the Adobe Creative Cloud includes an augmented reality:
<a href="https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/3d-augmented-reality.html">https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/3d-augmented-reality.html</a>. I also thing, you would want to include formats that support 3D printing, but for those, too, you will need to preserve
the native project file, Anyway, what would be “best” in this case? Can the best be one that is also an open standard? Is there a preservation format that would retain technical as well as descriptive metadata?</p>
