Vvox voxel data format

Vvox is a specialized digital data structure used for representing 3D voxel information. Unlike standardized 3D formats such as OBJ or STL, the Vvox JSON structure is a custom implementation designed for specific web-based 3D applications and interactive experiences. It organizes three-dimensional data as a collection of individual units called voxels, defined by their spatial coordinates and dimensions.

The format was originally developed by Arjan Westerdiep, a Dutch digital artist and developer known for creating innovative web experiments and interactive tools. The format is primarily associated with personal projects and niche 3D visualization tools rather than a mass-market retail company. It serves as a bridge for developers to export voxelized data from higher-level software into a lightweight, JSON-parseable format that can be easily rendered in modern web browsers using libraries like Three.js or custom WebGL engines.
