## Description

**Add Beautiful, Interactive 3D Models to WordPress — No Coding Required.**

ExploreXR is a fast, easy-to-use 3D viewer plugin for WordPress. Upload a GLB, GLTF,
or USDZ file, copy a shortcode, and your visitors get a fully interactive, hardware-
accelerated 3D model right inside the browser. No 3D experience needed. No developer
required.

Need AR, animations, material switching, or WooCommerce integration? Upgrade to **
ExploreXR Premium** — a structured add-on platform built for teams that want full
control over 3D on the web.

**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

All 12 add-ons are included in [ExploreXR Premium plans](https://expoxr.com/explorexr/preise/).

## FAQ

### What is the difference between the free version and Premium?

The free version is a 3D viewer — upload a model, embed it with a shortcode, done.
ExploreXR Premium is a full add-on platform built on a modular architecture, giving
you AR, animations, material variants, WooCommerce integration, native page builder
widgets, and more — activated individually so your site stays lean.

### Which 3D file formats does ExploreXR support?

GLB, GLTF, and USDZ. GLB (binary GLTF) is the recommended format — it is self-contained,
loads faster, and has the broadest device support. USDZ is optimized for iOS AR 
workflows.

### How do I embed a 3D model on a WordPress page?

Create a model under **ExploreXR  Create Model**, then paste the shortcode `[explorexr_model
id="123"]` into any post, page, widget, or page builder block. That is all.

### Does ExploreXR require coding knowledge?

No. The entire workflow — uploading models, configuring the viewer, embedding on
pages — is handled through the WordPress admin interface. No PHP, JavaScript, or
CSS knowledge is required.

### Does it work on all devices and browsers?

Yes. ExploreXR works on all modern browsers and devices that support WebGL, including
desktop (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), tablet, and mobile.

### Will 3D models slow down my WordPress site?

Not when configured correctly. ExploreXR uses conditional asset loading (scripts
only load on pages with a 3D model), multiple loading strategies (direct, lazy, 
and poster-driven for large files), and locally bundled decoders — so models are
compressed and loading is deferred until needed.

### Does ExploreXR work with Elementor, Divi, and Avada?

Yes. The free version works with all three via shortcode. ExploreXR Premium adds
native drag-and-drop widgets and modules for Elementor, Divi, and Avada.

### Is AR (Augmented Reality) included in the free version?

AR is available in [ExploreXR Premium](https://expoxr.com/explorexr/preise/) via
the AR add-on. It supports iOS Quick Look, Android Scene Viewer, and WebXR.

### Is ExploreXR compatible with WooCommerce?

WooCommerce product page integration is available in [ExploreXR Premium](https://expoxr.com/explorexr/preise/).

### Is there a free trial for Premium?

Yes. You can try all 12 premium add-ons free for 14 days — no credit card required.
[Request your trial here](https://expoxr.com/explorexr/trial-request/).

### Is ExploreXR compatible with WordPress 7?

Yes. ExploreXR is tested against WordPress 7.x and follows WordPress Coding Standards
to ensure long-term compatibility across every major WordPress release.

### What happens to my models if I deactivate the plugin?

Your model files and all settings are preserved. Deactivating the plugin does not
delete any data. Reactivate and everything will be exactly as you left it.

### Where can I get support?

Free support is available on the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/explorexr/).
Premium users have access to priority support via [expoxr.com/support/](https://expoxr.com/support/).

The viewer feels fast and stable. Setup is quick, and interaction is responsive.
Exactly what I needed for adding 3D on WordPress.
