Aton

ATON is an open-source framework built on Node.js and Three.js for the development of Web3D and WebXR applications related to cultural heritage. It enables the creation of interactive presenters, applied games, and digital tools that engage users with 3D scenes and cultural heritage objects directly on the web. The framework follows a “develop once, deploy everywhere” approach, allowing applications to run seamlessly across mobile devices, desktops, kiosks, and immersive XR environments. ATON requires no installation for end users, as its front-end automatically adapts to the capabilities of each device. It supports accessible and scalable dissemination of 3D cultural heritage experiences for research, education, and public engagement.
