About USDZ Format

USDZ is a file format developed by Apple and Pixar for AR experiences. It's based on Universal Scene Description (USD) and is optimized for delivering 3D content across platforms. USDZ files are uncompressed ZIP archives containing USD files and their dependencies, making them ideal for sharing 3D models with texture and animation information intact.
