What are Objects in Spatial Computing?

In augmented reality (A/R), virtual reality (V/R) and mixed reality (M/R), the term "object" (plural: "objects") refers to a three-dimensional (3D) element.

A series of objects within a scene.

The terms geometry, object or model are often used interchangeably to refer to an A/R, V/R or M/R three-dimensional element (i.e. a car or a shoe).

These objects often use textures or other materials to create the final visual outcome through physically based rendering (PBR) or texture mapping and in the event of moving elements, they may implement joints to allow the objects to be rigged for animations.

As objects increase in complexity, their polygon count goes up, which increases their file size and the amount of time it takes to render.
