IN WWDC (WORLDWIDE DEVELOPER CONFERENCE) held by Apple in 2018, many new features are added in IOS 12 like the introduction of USDZ – as a new file format.

It has become one of the biggest advantages for developers who want to create a special AR environment for their 3d objects directly from Photoshop and dimensions. Following are its main specifications:-
USDZ is developed to work with USD runtime. Its base is its zero compression and encrypted zip archive which helps in creating 3d scenes by composing many base file together into consecutively larger aggregations.
File types-It consist of only file types whose data can be consumed via mmap by USD runtime. However, it will include fewer amounts of image formats and indigenous USD file formats firstly. The main constraint of USDZ file is its read only feature. Apart from this, if content needs to be edited then its requires to unpack the archive using suitable tools.
In relation to concerns regarding no single method representing textures/images as scene explanation encode in USD files, Apple and Pixar created unique file format named as .usdz extension which can be rendered as one object.
