Exploring Augmented Reality on the Web - Jordan Santell - JSConf EU 2018

Augmented reality is enabling all new experiences, interaction patterns, and technology. As the web begins to adopt AR capabilities, this new medium is now available to web developers. If you know JavaScript, you can develop AR experiences that are enhancements to an existing app, fun bite-size demos, or explore completely uncharted territory.
We’ll explore what’s possible right now with the process of making an AR experience on the web, including practical use-cases of “augmenting” current web applications, as well as handling progressive enhancement of AR on unsupported platforms. This exploration will take us to where we seem to be heading in terms of AR as a medium on the web platform.

Fantastic talk Jordan!

Awesome talk.. The future with AR looks concerning if not controlled

[@JohnSmith-rn3vl]

There is one simple truth about AR that is essential and that is the human eye perspective and field of view. We need devices like google cardboard that in the future will provide 114 degree field of horizontal view. Without that I have no interest in developing anything useful with AR. It's all just games now.
