The Case for Augmented Reality on the Web

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Argues that the web can host AR by showing concrete work: an open Model Viewer component, the WebXR device API under development, and an internal prototype AR web view that composites WebGL rendering with ARCore/ARKit and a native camera feed and runs cross‑platform at interactive frame rates. Claims declarative semantics let the user agent mediate placement, accessibility and privacy, notes on‑device vs cloud tradeoffs and meshes leaking location, and shows the IO demo where HTML labels successfully orient users in AR.
