The University of Tasmania approach is to NOT REQUIRE such objects. The
Visual and Performing Arts must submit an exegesis (not a thesis) as part of
a PhD, and this would be archived. It could contain such objects as VRML,
sound recordings, etc.
An exegesis is a written document by a graduand that describes their
artistic progress and thoughts (very roughly) and references their work. The
examiners actually look at the actual work or listen to it.
All repositories will accept these formats or be useless.
