Credits & Licences
Last updated 1 October 2026
Some of what you see on this site was made by other people and shared under open licences. This page credits them, says which licence applies and what we changed. Sharing it makes our demos possible: thank you.
1. 3D models in the showroom
The products in our 3D showroom (on the homepage and the 3D product page) are open-source sample models published in the Khronos Group's glTF-Sample-Assets collection. They are not our products, we didn't make them, and their authors and owners do not endorse Senova Systems. We use them, as their licences allow, to show what our viewer, lighting and interactions can do with a real product. The ZA-1 instrument elsewhere on the site is our founder's own design.

CC0 models are in the public domain; we credit them anyway. Product, brand and label designs inside a model (for example the fictional label on the fridge's bottles) belong to the model's authors. The compressed files we serve are available under the same licence as the original. The studio stills on the 3D product page are renders we made of these models and carry the same licences and credits.
