Windows 10 comes with a built-in app, Mixed Reality Viewer, which allows viewing different 3D models. It comes bundled with modern versions of the OS. Insiders on the Fast Ring are getting an updated version of the app, which is renamed now to 3D Viewer.
With 3D Viewer, you can see 3D objects – either from the Remix3D.com community or your own creation from Paint 3D – mixed into your actual surroundings through your PC’s camera.
