The GLB/OBJ file formats are for 3D scenes and models.

GLB's are the binary version of the glTF 2.0 file format and can be used in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR) programs.

OBJ's are often used in 3D design programs can can be used in the CoSpaces app.
