The future of Virtual and Augmented Reality for the web

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Claims that WebXR already exposes hardware to pages with concrete APIs: navigator.getVRDisplays, pose and position data, requestAnimationFrame at 90fps. Demonstrations use three.js, the webvr-polyfill and declarative A‑Frame; AR demos use AR.js marker tracking plus iOS ARKit and Android ARCore extensions that add 6DOF tracking, camera intrinsics and hitTest. Concrete builds include a furniture-measurement demo that places cubes on detected planes and mostly works given good lighting and textured floors; no killer app yet.
