Volumes are three-dimensional (3D) spaces that enable apps (i.e. experiences) to display and control geometries, models or objects within the shared space.
An example of a volume.
Volumes are great for demonstrating 3D content, for example the earth or a chess board.
Users can re-size and reposition volumes within space (i.e. the shared space) and can view them from different angles.
