Are you an agency or freelancer looking to create powerful, accessible, and app-free AR web campaigns accessible through any smartphone?

WebAR is a critical skill for any AR developer's portfolio. It opens up an immersive new AR world for clients and customers alike—for anyone with access to a web browser. We will showcase WebAR development through a simple-to-use Cloud Editor and deployment to smartphones, tablets, computers, and AR/VR headsets.

Takeaways:

• You don’t need to be an expert AR developer to create a powerful WebAR experience. Standard HTML and Javascript are enough! If you have web experience, you can learn WebAR quickly.

• Use templates to start with! Templates make it easy to start building and learning from complicated projects with 0 Experience.

• Own your development. Have total control over your launch timelines, development process, and collaboration with others without restrictive policies or app ecosystems.

• Show your new WebAR skills to agencies who need your creativity. AR is relevant like never before. More and more brands are seeking to activate AR experiences for their audiences.
