ViXR

Project Overview

ViXR is a multi-tenant 3D/XR experience platform. Organizations author interactive AR experiences from 3D objects, 3D text, images, audio, and video, then present and share them live in AR — individually or in hosted meetings. Ready Bytes engineered the platform's backend cloud and its management web application across a multi-year engagement, 2021 through 2024.

The Backend Cloud

One backend served the platform's client applications — a management web app, an AR authoring studio, and a mobile app for audiences:

• Management web app — built by Ready Bytes alongside the backend: organization onboarding, teams, roles and invitations, and administration of the platform's experiences and assets.
• Authoring and audience apps — the backend powered AR experience creation, publishing, sharing, and live hosted AR meetings for the platform's creator and mobile audience apps.

Behind those apps, the backend spanned:

• Multi-tenancy — tenant organizations, teams, and roles and permissions
• Experience and asset pipeline — 3D scenes stored with their related assets and metadata, with data normalization for Unity
• Real-time collaboration — Agora and Photon powering live meetings inside 3D spaces
• Cloud infrastructure — AWS, with CaddyServer in front
• AI features — LangChainJS-based capabilities added in the platform's later phases

Technical Implementation

• Backend: TypeScript + Node.js, MongoDB and MySQL, Redis caching, CaddyServer, AWS
• Real-time: Agora and Photon for live collaboration inside 3D spaces
• Unity integration: bridging the web platform and Unity-built XR experiences
• AI features: LangChainJS-based capabilities in the platform's later phases
