ExploreXR

ExploreXR — Free 3D Model Viewer for WordPress.

ExploreXR brings interactive 3D models to your WordPress site using Google’s <model-viewer> element. Upload GLB / GLTF / USDZ files, embed them anywhere with a shortcode, and pair the viewer with one Premium Addon of your choice (AR Addon, Animation Addon, or Loading Options Addon).

For multi-addon production setups, upgrade to ExploreXR Premium for 3, 5, or unlimited addons.

Free Version — The 3D Viewer + One Premium Addon

ExploreXR Free gives you a clean, capable 3D viewer you can embed anywhere on your WordPress site, plus one Premium Addon of your choice:

• Display interactive GLB, GLTF, and USDZ 3D models in any post, page, or widget

• Embed with shortcode: [explorexr_model id="123"]

• Fully responsive — scales correctly on desktop, tablet, and mobile with per-breakpoint sizing

• Camera controls: rotation, zoom, pan, and touch gestures

• Auto-rotation with configurable speed, delay, and direction

• Poster image support with lazy loading and “click to load” mode

• Per-model load behavior: direct, poster + button, or lazy via IntersectionObserver

• Customizable Load Model button with configurable text, colors, and radius

• Bundled Draco geometry, KTX2/Basis Universal texture, and Meshopt decoders — no CDN needed

• Drag-and-drop model upload through the WordPress admin

• Conditional asset loading — scripts only enqueue on pages with a model shortcode

• Nonce-protected admin actions and strict file upload validation

• Full WordPress Coding Standards compliance, tested on WordPress 5.8 through 7.1

Choose Your Included Premium Addon:

• AR Addon — iOS Quick Look, Android Scene Viewer, and WebXR augmented reality

• Animation Addon — Play, pause, loop, and ping-pong glTF animation clips with crossfade transitions

• Loading Options Addon — Custom loading bars, percentage counters, and loading overlays

Each addon installs as a separate plugin from the ExpoXR update server via the ExploreXR → Addons page. You can only activate one at a time. To use multiple addons simultaneously, upgrade to ExploreXR Premium.

Who Uses ExploreXR

• E-commerce stores — let shoppers rotate and inspect products before buying (AR available via included addon)

• Product designers and manufacturers — present technical models with precision and clarity

• Architecture and real estate teams — browser-based model presentations without external tools

• Agencies — a repeatable system for delivering 3D capability across multiple client sites

• Education and training teams — interactive 3D models embedded directly into course content

ExploreXR Premium — The Add-On Platform

Premium is not just “more features” — it is a different architecture. Where the free version gives you one addon, Premium is a structured add-on system: a lean core with optional capability modules you activate individually. Your site only loads the code you actually use.

Performance-Aware Architecture

Conditional asset loading, multiple loading strategies (direct, lazy, or poster-driven), and built-in Draco, Basis Universal, and Meshopt compression decoders ensure heavy 3D assets do not slow your site down. Heavy models, clean Core Web Vitals.

Modular Add-On System

A lean core with optional premium add-ons — AR, material variants, animation controls, WooCommerce integration, and more. Activate only the exact capabilities you need. Nothing else loads.

No bloat.

Broad Ecosystem Compatibility
