Democratizing Augmented Reality

" summary

Claims a practical path to web AR by using QR-AR.js as markers instead of ARToolkit, hooking into 3D via three.js or simple 2D HTML panels; demos render an R2D2 model and an overlaid panel and work but exhibit jitter and device-specific glitches. Library ships on npm and unpkg, uses getUserMedia + canvas, jsQR-based marker locator and a pose estimator that needs optimization, and notes performance tradeoffs (web workers, WebAssembly). Notes Google Cardboard adoption as evidence mobile-first access is realistic.
