If support is missing, AR buttons are automatically hidden when the page is opened or a redirection to other browsers/devices will be recommended.</li>

<li>Suitable for social media – Thanks to automatic support detection, links from AR websites can be shared on social media without hesitation.

Copyright information, trademarks, logos, names and company designations may not be changed, removed or otherwise made invisible or unrecognizable in any way.</li>
<li>Multiple AR scenes per page – The number of AR scenes and 3D viewers are not limited. Add as many PausAR widgets to your Elementor page as you like.</li>
<li>Hiding the loading time – The asynchronous loading behavior of the model preview can be freely selected and the loading time can be hidden with the automatic creation of placeholder images.</li>
<li>Independent (self-) hosting of 3D files – All 3D models are hosted independently in your WordPress database and do not require an external hosting service from PausAR.</li>
<li>Apple Vision Pro ready – Support for Apple Vision Pro has been confirmed (tested with VisionOS 1.0)</li>
<li>Full screen mode – Users can unlock an optional full-screen mode that can display the 3D preview across the entire screen when the mode is switched in the frontend.</li>

<li>Optional brand removal – Watermarks and logos of PausAR can optionally be hidden and fully removed.</li>

<li>UI customization – Extended options for customizing the user interface inside and outside the AR scene are added. Headlines and custom linked “Call to action” buttons can be displayed in AR mode.</li>
<li>Extended preview – More options for previewing AR content on the website. In addition to deactivating the preview, you can choose between a 2D or 3D mode.</li>

<li>Custom anchor links – A user-defined anchor link can be added to the redirect that occurs when AR support is missing. By default, the anchor is taken from the button to start the AR scenes.</li>
<li>Autostart – Users can specify whether scanning the QR code automatically starts the AR scene when it is opened.</li>
<li>Show annotations – Optionally, the dimensions of the 3D models can be displayed within the preview. These dimensions are automatically calculated from the size of the model.</li>

<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Problems when using the plugin WP-Optimize and the following features:
<ul>
<li>JavaScript minification: JavaScript code will be compressed to shorten loading times. This makes PausAR’s code unusable. If you want to use WP-Optimize with PausAR, you must add the PausAR plugin file path as an exception within the WP-Optimize settings. To do this, add the following file paths: <code>/wp-content/plugins/pausar-3d-ar-for-elementor</code> <code>/wp-content/plugins/pausar-3d-ar-for-elementor-premium</code></li>
<li>JavaScript processing (since v.3.7): This feature causes ES6 modules to no longer load correctly, which makes many modern plugins unusable, including PausAR. It is recommended to disable this feature, otherwise the 3D preview and AR mode will not work</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
If the plugin LiteSpeed ​​Cache is used with the activated “UCSS” function, visual problems may occur. The CSS classes of the plugin can then only be partially loaded.
</li>
<li>
3D models cannot be loaded in AR mode if the paths are not specified with the global path. This only affects models whose files were not inserted directly via the WordPress media library.
</li>
<li>
Conflicts may arise when using Google’s Model-Viewer on the same website page. If PausAR is used, further imports of the Model-Viewer should be avoided and are not needed even for custom coding.
</li>
</ul>

This plugin uses external libraries. The corresponding development files can be found here:
