Bezi Lab

Basically, Bezi is a low-code platform (think Figma canvas for 3D AR/VR design) where you can quickly build your 3D scene (drag-and-drop import Blender, 3D assets, GenAI models, etc.) which is then rendered with Three.js/WebXR into an AR or VR realtime scene that is viewable on Mobile AR, Quest, and AVP.

The main thing we're going to focus on today for the Bezi Lab is it's current free 3D Canvas. There's also another product called Sidekick they made that's essentially a Unity AI copilot. It's still in beta right now and comes with a small monthly subscription fee. You're welcome to check it out separately as well.

What is Bezi?

Bezi is a collaborative 3D design platform that enables designers to create interactive 3D experiences without the need for coding. It offers an intuitive, web-based environment where users can rapidly prototype and collaborate on spatial designs, including those for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. Bezi Sidekick is a Unity AI copilot.
