/ 001 — The Digital Specimen Archive
A tool library for spatial interfaces.
Holobjects is a platform for designing, generating, and distributing holobjects — physical totems that act as semantic controllers in AR/VR. Every holobject is a bound triplet of industrial design, digital skin, and interaction contract.
/ 002 — The Three-Layer Model
Every holobject is a bound triplet.
The physical form carries the meaning; the software honours it. The MVP ships only layer 2, but layers 1 and 3 are first-class null — reserved, never omitted.
Industrial Design
Physical form, CMF, buttons, haptics, sound, weight. The real-world object spec.
Digital Skin
The 3D mesh rendered in XR, with stylistic variants.
Interaction Contract
What the object does when held, recognised, or manipulated.
/ 003 — The Three Families
Not a flat list. Three distinct roles.
Civilizational archetypes are marketing gold. Creative tools are the productive core. Primitives are the developer surface.

/ 004 — The Long Game
Five phases.
- / 01MVPDigital skin generation. Style-consistent 3D libraries.
- / 02Interaction contractsDeclarative schemas per archetype. SDK for Unity/Unreal/WebXR.
- / 03Physical recognitionFiducial markers, CV, QR. A real bottle triggers the branded experience.
- / 04Industrial design outputCMF specs, manufacturing briefs, printable totems. The IKEA moment.
- / 05MarketplaceBrands license families. Creators publish archetypes. Manufacturers produce totems.
