Free Version — The 3D Viewer
The free version gives you a clean, capable 3D viewer you can embed anywhere on your WordPress site:
- 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
- Camera controls: rotation, zoom, and pan
- Auto-rotation with configurable speed and delay
- Poster image support — show a preview before the model loads
- Customizable viewer size: Small, Medium, Large, or Full Width
- Per-breakpoint sizing: different dimensions for desktop, tablet, and mobile
- Progressive loading with smooth fallback
- Loading bar with configurable color, size, and position
- Drag-and-drop model upload through the WordPress admin
- Bundled Draco geometry and Basis Universal texture decoders — no CDN needed
- Nonce-protected admin actions and strict file upload validation
- Full WordPress Coding Standards compliance, tested on WordPress 5.0 through 7.x
The free version does not include the add-on system. It is a single, focused tool — upload a model, embed it, done.
Who Uses ExploreXR
- E-commerce stores — let shoppers rotate and inspect products before buying (AR available via Premium)
- 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 is a single viewer, 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 and Basis Universal 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
Complies strictly with WordPress coding standards and works natively with the Block Editor, Classic Editor, and major page builders — Elementor, Divi, and Avada. Tested against every WordPress release including WordPress 7.
Available Add-Ons:
- AR (Augmented Reality) — iOS Quick Look, Android Scene Viewer, and WebXR in one add-on
- Animation Control — multi-clip playback with configurable crossfade transitions
- Annotations — interactive hotspots, labels, dimension lines, and camera-targeted explanations
- Material Variants — real-time color, finish, and model state switching without page reload
- Camera & Lighting — expert camera constraints and HDRI environment lighting
- Post-Processing — cinematic visual effects and filters applied directly to the viewer
- WooCommerce Integration — attach 3D models directly to product pages
- Elementor Widget — native drag-and-drop 3D viewer block inside the Elementor editor
- Divi Module — native integration within the Divi visual builder
- Avada Integration — Fusion Element for Avada-based sites
- Draggable Viewer — user-repositionable viewer for advanced editorial layouts
- Mouse3D Cursor — 3D-aware pointer for interactive presentation experiences
