JigSpace is an interactive 3D presentation software meant to help designers showcase their product in action through an augmented reality space. Currently there are three different plans available: Free, Starter, and Enterprise. The free version only allows for one jig space, and 100 MB of storage.
Configurators: Menus or individual pieces within your Jig to allow viewers to select different versions or formats of your product.
Quizzes: Link actions to questions to test viewers' knowledge
Interactive elements: This can include buttons that trigger product tasks or selecting different parts of the model to activate product features.
'Jigs within Jigs': Enable customers to explore various procedures within your product by selecting a part that leads to a sequence demonstrating that specific procedure.

JigSpace has a prototyping feature similar to that of ShapesXR. Users connect panels and objects as actionionable components that take users to another "step." The software creates smart animations between frames so that it can create seamless transitions.
When you upload your cad file you can add actions to individual parts of the design to show off different features.
You can upload your own asset images as well, and turn them into interactable UI. In this example, the purchase button is linked to an external site that those viewing your product can access.
JigSpace is compatible across several different devices. Although it's compatible with android products, the apple vision pro is promoted prominently on the website. It may be interesting to identify whether or not there is a difference in fidelity between the Apple Pro and a Metaquest.
Besides going frame by frame in scenes, the software also allows for annotations and the ability to pull apart objects. The ability to pull apart objects is great not only for getting a sense of scale of different parts, but for seeing how complex models are interconnected. This could be helpful for tradeshows, education, communicating with manufacturers, and training.
