Ever wanted to feel like Hansel and Gretel and visit a life-size gingerbread house?

Well now you can - anywhere you want using PausAR! As wild as it sounds, we turned this whimsical dream into reality with the help of Augmented Reality and PausAR. We 3D scanned our gingerbread house, uploaded it to our website with PausAR and took it to its logical place of operation, the beach - where Kolja visited it in life-size augmented reality!
Gingerbread House in AR

Here’s how we made it happen:
1. Built the gingerbread house (honestly, this took longer than anything else).
2. Used an iPhone to create a 3D scan in just 2 minutes.
3. Uploaded the 3D file to my WordPress site using our PausAR 3D & AR Plugin.
Within minutes, we made a fully interactive Web AR experience ready to share. Visitors to my website can:

  • View the gingerbread house in 3D directly on their devices.
  • Place it in real-world spaces— and scale it up to life-size in stunning detail—with just their smartphone or tablet.


Your turn:
Where would you take a gingerbread house in AR? The possibilities are endless—and with PausAR, they’re just a few clicks away.
