The Verold team will join Box and will integrate 3D conversion and previewing directly into Box’s enterprise content collaboration platform.
Founded in 2010, Verold is a visual editor and platform service that allows Web developers to add interactive 3d content to the applications, games, and experiences they create.
Verold has pioneered the development with WebGL technology to deliver powerful content creation and editing tools for interactive projects that have broad applications for information workers.

Company officials say Verold also makes it easier for marketers to understand key features and benefits that are difficult to communicate in traditional 2D formats.
“With Verold’s technology, we’re extending our world-class content previewing and collaboration platform to interactive 3D content, opening all new-use cases across manufacturing, engineering, consumer products, and media and entertainment,” said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box.
In October, Box acquired MedXT to integrate medical image viewing and support for DICOM files within Box’s Preview technology, one of the most powerful and engaging features of the Box platform that was recently enhanced.
