is it possible to send Metadata Package that inclued an animated 3d model like .obj or .fbx?
To be clear, once the target image is tracked then it downloads and shows up an animated character from internet.
any idea?

Note that the Metadata size has been increased to 1MB (DavidB's post was still referring to the old limit of 150kb).
You can accomplish that using AssetBundles w/ Unity Pro - http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/AssetBundle.html
3D models are going to be too large to deliver as target metadata, which is restricted to 150Kbytes (or 200Kbytes base64 encoded) - https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/adding-target-cloud-database-api
My recommendation is to use the metadata to identify which model to use, and then download the corresponding AssetBundle in a separate step.
!! looks like Alessandro beat me to the punch ;)
Hi, the Metadata is a general purpose text blob that your application can retrieve, read and use in any custom way;
my recommendation would be to put a string (in the Metadata) specifying the URL pointing to an internet location from which your 3D model can be downloaded;
once a target is recognized, your app can read the metadata, get the stored URL and download the model (which can then be attached to your target)
Great to hear this.
