WebAR defined: WebAR is a technology that enables users to access Augmented Reality (AR) experiences right on their smartphone browser. Users don’t need to download any other application to access AR Experiences.
Users just need to scan the AR-enabled QR code and click the link; nothing more is required. Depending on the type of AR Experience, WebAR superimposes digital items onto the user’s environment using the front-facing (selfie) or back cameras.
By employing Web AR, brands can quickly turn their whole product line into incredibly lifelike digital models that customers can virtually try on or visualize and interact with, in their real-life environment.
Let’s assume a marketer wants to promote a brand-new jewelry line. The marketer can use Web AR to realistically place jewelry on the user’s face using Vossle’s facial detection to increase client confidence and sales while they are making purchases online.

The understanding of the concept of Augmented Reality is right there in these two words – Augmented & Reality. The word ‘augment’ means ‘add to’ i.e. adding something, while ‘reality’ as we all know means the state of things as they exist in this world. Therefore, Augmented Reality means the addition of something to the state of things as they exist or, in short, adding something to the reality. As a whole Augmented Reality is the addition of virtual elements to the existing reality.
