About ModelViewer
ModelViewer is a web component, model-viewer, for displaying interactive 3D models on websites and in augmented reality (AR). It is listed for the web, iOS, and macOS platforms. The project provides documentation, examples, and an API reference, along with an editor for testing 3D models before use.
AR display depends on WebXR browser features. The homepage lists these as needed only for AR modes, and their support differs across browsers: some are natively supported, some need a polyfill, some sit behind a flag, and some are not available. Browser support covers the last two major versions of evergreen desktop and mobile browsers, plus the last two versions of Safari on macOS and iOS.

ModelViewer FAQ
Which browser features are needed for AR display?
The WebXR Device API, WebXR HitTest API, and WebXR DOM Overlay API are needed only if you use WebXR in AR modes. The homepage lists their support as natively supported, available with a polyfill, behind a flag and unstable, or not available.
Can I test a 3D model before adding it to a website?
Yes. The editor lets you test your 3D models and download a starter website.
