Frictionless AR

WebAR allows immersive content to be delivered straight to the user's smartphone without the need to stop and download an app. Scan a QR code or tap on a web link, and start interacting with the virtual world. Removing the need to search for and download an app reduces the number of steps a user has to take between awareness and experience.

Unmatched Reach

Compared to traditional AR campaigns with native apps or social media platforms, for example, WebAR offers unmatched reach and scale. With 3.5 billion smartphone users worldwide, the distribution opportunity alone has been enough to turn brands' heads as they look to free themselves from apps and platforms and imagine more seamless executions across the mobile web.
