It's no secret that one of the biggest issues holding back virtual and Documentary Archivesaugmented reality is the lack of content.
Even as bigger studios and companies are sinking more and more money into VR and AR development, it's still difficult for smaller, independent, developers to get started. A big part of the problem is that AR and VR apps require developers to create a ton of 3D objects, often an overwhelming and time-consuming process.

The model is a bit like Flickr, but for VR and AR developers rather than photographers. Anyone can upload their own 3D creations to the service and make them available to others via a Creative Commons license, and any developer can search and download objects for their own apps and games.

(Models created in Google-owned Tilt Brush and Blocks, can also be uploaded straight to Poly.)
The goal, Google says, is to make it easier for developers who may not otherwise have the resources to create virtual and augmented reality experiences.
"In the same way today that anyone can create a webpage and, increasingly, anyone can create a mobile app, we are so far from that with AR and VR," says Google's Jason Toff, a group project manager for Poly. "Part of the way we came about this idea was as we were developing apps internally, this was the biggest thorn in out sides as developers on the team."
Google has started things off by adding a ton of 3D models created in-house, but the company expects Poly's library will grow as more people look to share and show off objects they've created.
