Performance considerations when you preview 3D assets in Experience Manager performance-3d-previewing-assets
The time it takes to open a 3D asset in the asset details view page depends on several factors such things as bandwidth, image complexity, and latencies to the server.
In addition, the capabilities of the client computer – such as a workstation, notebook, or mobile touch device – are also important to consider when you manipulate the camera interactively. A reasonably powerful system with good graphics capabilities can make the interactive 3D viewing experience smoother and more favorable.
