Augmented Reality: Past, Present, Future
summary
History and concrete tooling decide whether to watch: AR traces to 1901 and 1968 but the present moment hinges on developer kits and real deployments, not visions. The talk shows that ARCore reaches about 100 million devices across 13 models, explains ARKit parity, and names threejs, three.ar.js, WebRTC and experimental WebXR browsers as the active stack. It demonstrates a built web app — Qibla finder (web faux‑AR; camera + navigation APIs; not surface‑anchored) — and highlights motion tracking, environmental understanding and light estimation as the meaningful capabilities.
