– Though apps are a dominant vessel for mobile content, AR could go a different route.
– Web AR offers several benefits over apps, given less friction in launching experiences.
– This is owed to the mobile browser's compatibility and avoiding app stores & downloads.
– AR is too early and unproven to ask most users to go through that traditional app friction.
– For example, AR sessions are often dynamic and serendipitous, requiring quick activation.
– Beyond user benefits, web AR holds developer benefits including reaching more devices.
– Sidestepping app stores also means dynamic product development and updates.
