Mobile Web based AR is here! well kinda … A working demo of web based Augmented Reality using iOS 11 s web RTC enabled browsers.
AR.js is a solution for efficiently doing augmented reality on the web, available on github. Let’s take a detailed look at what it is:
- Very Fast: It runs efficiently even on mobile phones
- Web-based: It is a pure web solution, so no installation required. Full javascript based on three.js + jsartoolkit5
- Open Source: It is completely open source and free of charge
- Standards: It works on any phone with webgl and webrtc
The goal is to make it easy for people to do augmented reality; AR that can be easily experienced on today’s phones and easily designed using web technology. The AR.js project is about enabling those people. So now, anybody with a modern phone can enjoy open-source AR, free of charge, cross-platform and without installation.
