P3DF: A Portable Digital-Twin Format
P3DF is an evolving open standard for packaging building geometry, asset relationships, navigation data, and recorded observations for digital twins and AI agents.
Field notes
A draft .p3df package is organized as a ZIP container with a manifest, scene relationships, GLB geometry, navigation data, and telemetry or history in Arrow or Parquet. The site demonstrates the concept with an account-free Creator preview and an illustrative workflow in which a permissioned camera observation helps an agent locate a book. Its proposed MCP layer would expose spaces, assets, observations, and telemetry through authenticated, permission-scoped queries.
