The Best of Both Worlds

Combine 2D and 3D

With Needle, you can combine 3D scenes with responsive and accessible HTML. You can use any front-end or full-stack framework, or just plain HTML and CSS.

For a lot of frontend and fullstack frameworks, we provide samples to get you started:

Everywhere Actions and Core Components

Packed with Features

Modern applications require a lot of building blocks. Needle provides dozens of core components out of the box that cover common interactions and functionality.

Our Everywhere Actions go even further – they work literally everywhere, including AR on iOS and visionOS, where no custom code can be used.
