" summary

Argues that shipping web standards for AR actually scales augmented reality: shows working toolchains (ARCore, ARKit, experimental WebAR builds) and demos built with three.js, traces failures (Flash/C++ QR stunt) and limited Tango hardware, and claims calibration work targets 100 million phones at launch. Gives concrete features implemented—motion tracking, surface detection, light estimation—points to web demos that run in experimental browsers and to marketing builds (IKEA/Interland) that already work.
