Google's <model-viewer> is a web component for easily displaying interactive 3D models (glTF/GLB) on the web with built-in AR support via WebXR and Scene Viewer. It is built on three.js and ships with addons like <model-viewer-effects> for post-processing.
Use cases
- show 3d product models on my website
- embed interactive glb viewer in a web page
- display gltf models with ar view on mobile
- add augmented reality model viewing to an online store
- render 3d models in the browser without writing webgl code
- view 3d models on ios and android browsers
When to choose
- you want a drop-in web component for glTF/GLB models
- you need AR viewing on mobile with minimal code
- you want broad evergreen browser support maintained by Google
When to avoid
- you need a full 3D engine or custom shaders beyond post-processing effects
- you target very old browsers without WebGL
- you need native app AR rather than web-based AR
