MR and the Web with Babylon.js 5.0

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Babylon.js 5.0 claims concrete WebXR additions: WebXR light estimation, image tracking, and layers, plus backwards-compatible 5.x releases and a roadmap to 6. The ecosystem includes the browser Playground, Inspector, Node Material and UI editors, and Babylon Native that reuses the same JS code natively via Babylon React Native. Demos show MRTK UI components, a physics VR scene with Quest hand tracking, and an Android image-tracking demo that runs from ~20 lines of XR code (Chrome flags enabled) and also runs in a native iOS app.
