The Ultimate Guide to Understanding WebAR

An Overview of WebAR

WebAR or Web Augmented Reality is the technology that lets users engage with augmented reality experiences on a mobile or web browser effectively. Because the user does not need to download or buy specialist apps, software, or equipment, it differs from traditional AR. Osiz is the most prominent AR VR development company with more than 15+ years of experience offering the best AR VR services. Our WebAR technology is incredibly accessible, as it can be used with a mobile web browser and a smartphone's built-in camera. More than 3 billion devices worldwide run both the iOS and Android operating systems, making WebAR technology compatible with them.

The Importance of WebAR

Research indicates that incorporating interactive elements into material can increase its retention rate in users' minds by up to 80%. This fact, along with the option to publish AR material directly from your website, offers a huge chance to maximize the effectiveness of your content strategy. It is no longer necessary to direct people to unaffiliated websites such as Facebook, TikTok, or Snapchat;  instead, WebAR experiences can be accessed through any desired URL.

When utilizing WebAR, numerous tracking and analytics options are accessible, just like with static web pages. In addition to tracking standard metrics like time on page and engagements, you can also obtain more specific information like the duration of a user's interaction with a certain product.
