The document discusses the merging of physical and digital realities through cross reality (XR), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) technologies. It highlights the evolution of web-based XR experiences, the importance of familiar web technologies, and the introduction of WebXR, which will support AR and VR on various platforms. Additionally, it explores various libraries and tools available for developers to create immersive web experiences.

38. WebXR
bit.ly/webxr-slides-by-brandon-jones
● Not backwards compatible with WebVR
● But most WebVR apps “should port easily”
● And no need to upgrade straight away

39. WebXR
● AR not in initial release but “coming soon”
● Focus on phone-based AR first
