WebAR Augmented Reality for Web in Open Source by @jerome_etienne at #fstoco 2015

Augmented Reality is everywhere. It is a hot and powerful topic. Everyone is doing it: Facebook with Occulus Rift, Microsoft with Hololens, Google with google glass or DAQRI with the Smart Helmet.

We wanted to experiment with Augmented Reality on the web as well. That's how WebAR was born, an open source project which does Augmented Reality using web standards. We were wondering how far we could push the technology...the good news is that we can go pretty far!

First, we succeeded on making AR run in a browser. We were already quite happy with this, but then we went for the moon and wanted to run that on mobile phones too. And it turns out it actually works! Imagine that: Being able to provide free AR for everybody to use in their everyday life with their mobile devices!

I will tell you everything you need to know to write your own Augmented Reality application! Trust me, it's gonna be fun!
