  • Wenn 3D, dann nur PausAR

    Für einen Kundenauftrag musste ich ein 3D Tool bereitstellen, das optional in der Bedienung ist, sowie Schnelligkeit und Stabilität aufweist. Das Plugin hat die Erwartungen voll und ganz übertroffen! Ich möchte besonders den Support erwähnen, da ich solche Kompetenz und echte Hilfsbereitschaft selten erlebe. Das Paket stimmt absolut und ist jeden Cent wert!

  • Project: 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau

    We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the PausAR team for their exceptional cooperation and dedication to this significant project. With their expertise and support, we were able to bring to life a detailed and historically accurate 3D model of the Birkenau II concentration camp, making it accessible in augmented reality. This initiative holds deep importance as it honors the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Through their innovative approach and attention to detail, the PausAR team has helped ensure that this chapter of history is preserved and presented in a way that encourages education, remembrance, and reflection. Their professionalism, creativity, and commitment were essential to making this project a reality. The resulting AR experience serves as a powerful tool for engaging with history in a meaningful way. Thank you, PausAR, for your invaluable partnership in this endeavor.

  • Stoneage in 3A und AR

    Nachdem wir einige 3D Viewer Plugins auf unserer WordPress Installation ausprobiert hatten, haben wir uns letztlich für PausAR entschieden. Es lässt sich leicht integrieren und anwenden. So können auch nicht ausgewiesene WordPress Experten damit gut umgehen. Nicht nur die Darstellung auf Desktop-PC’s hat uns gefallen. Besonders die AR-Lösungen für Smartphone und Tabletts sind für uns interessant, weil wir damit unseren Web-Besuchern einen Eindruck vermitteln können, wie die Menschen vor 10.000 Jahren in ihren Unterkünften gelebt haben. Die Menschen von heute können sich damit quasi eine Jäger- und Sammlerhütte aus der Zeit kurz nach der Eiszeit in Nordeuropa auf den eigenen Rasen stellen und sich darin umschauen. After we had tried some 3D viewer plugins on our WordPress installation, we finally decided for PausAR. It is easy to integrate and apply. This way, even untified WordPress experts can handle it well. We did not just like the presentation on desktop PCs. AR solutions for smartphones and tablets are particularly interesting for us, because we can give our web visitors an impression of how people lived in their accommodations 10,000 years ago. The people of today can thus put a hunter-gather and gather hut from the time shortly after the ice age in northern Europe and look around in it.

  • Simple and user-friendly

    I recently started using the PausAR Viewer to integrate 3D and Web AR into my WordPress website, and I must say, it’s been an incredibly smooth experience! The plugin is easy to use, and both WordPress and WooCommerce product integration methods are simple and user-friendly. I was impressed by how fast and responsive the customer support is. After testing several other AR plugins, I found them either complicated or overpriced. PausAR, on the other hand, offers the best balance of good pricing and excellent support. If you're looking for the best AR plugin for WordPress, this is it! Highly recommended!
