model-viewer is the rendering component a lot of WordPress 3D plugins are built on. PausAR Viewer uses it under the hood and adds the WordPress-native integration around it: a drag-and-drop Elementor widget, automatic device detection, Apple Quick Look and Google Scene Viewer hand-off, true-to-scale AR, customizable styling, all with no coding required.
On its own, model-viewer means writing HTML and managing attributes for every product page by hand. With the PausAR Viewer Elementor widget you drag the viewer into the page, upload your GLB and USDZ files, and the plugin handles model-viewer setup, fullscreen, AR trigger, hotspots and device branching for you.

| Device handling | Manual attributes | Automatic detection |
| Styling | CSS by hand | Elementor Style panel |
| AR integration | Configure manually | Built in |

In the browser, yes, once the model and script are loaded. For AR you almost always need an internet connection.
For a quick test, yes. For a production site you'd be maintaining HTML snippets per product manually. PausAR Viewer wraps model-viewer into an Elementor widget, so you set things up once in the Page Builder and the plugin handles model-viewer, AR triggers, device branching, styling and updates for you.
