USD stands for Universal Scene Description, a "ecosystem" for building and collaborating with 3D objects and 3D worlds.
"USDZ" is an archive of files that describe 3D object characteristics such as materials, textures, lighting, and animations. USDZ is used in Augmented Reality (AR) development.
Other related formats for scene descriptions are "USDA" (ASCII encoded) and "USDC" (binary encoded).
