What are Holomodels?
Holomodels are innovative digital figures designed for enjoyment on smartphones and MR (Mixed Reality) devices, such as the Meta Quest series.

This technology transforms the static experience of traditional figures into a dynamic, interactive one, blending digital characters seamlessly into physical environments.
