Hello!

Curious if there are any plans to add more features to AR soon, specifically image and possibly even body/face tracking? (ar.js on the table?)
I think I read that we were waiting for WebXR to implement the former to start, but that does not appear to be progressing at all, while many projects (for me, anyways) currently sit on hold in the meantime.

I appreciate the team for this amazing empowering tool for creatives, and just wanted to pass along that such features are definitely getting more demand, at least on my end.

Well, we are still unsure if it would be a good idea to add a software-based AR implementation on top of the existing WebXR (alas, incomplete so far). It would complicate the engine maintenance significantly and likely add more bugs. Hopefully WebXR guys will make more progress with their work sooner.

You already can use ar.js as a stand-alone solution. Just 10 strings in your html file and it will work (as they promise).

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Appreciate the reply.
Best not to add complexity and potential bugs, I suppose.
I wonder how WebXR decides what features to prioritize…is there any method for us to draw attention to this growing need? I know I’m not alone in this feature request.
