WWDC26: Get started with the HTML Model Element | Apple

Apple Developer (WWDC) · Jun 08, 2026 · Product Launches

Apple expands its native HTML Model element from visionOS to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Safari for embedding 3D content.

“We pioneered the Model element in visionOS — a native HTML element that makes adding a 3D model as simple as adding an image.”

At WWDC26, Apple's Safari team announced the native HTML Model element is coming to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, letting developers embed 3D USDZ content without JavaScript libraries like model-viewer. While it briefly notes generative AI tools (Tripo3D, Meshy.ai) for creating 3D assets, this is primarily a web/3D developer feature with limited direct AI-industry significance.
