Basic A-Frame support for browser-based augmented reality (AR), supporting the new WebXR AR support in Chrome v81+ as well as WebXR Viewer.
By simply adding the ar component to your A-Frame scene declaration:
<a-scene ar>
...
</a-scene>
aframe-ar will, when using a supported browser, take over the scene camera using information from ARKit / ARCore.
Basic usage:
<!-- First, include whichever version of A-Frame you like. -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/aframevr/aframe@master/dist/aframe-master.min.js"></script>
<!-- Last, include aframe-ar. -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/chenzlabs/aframe-ar@master/dist/aframe-ar.min.js"></script>
<!-- Place the ar component on your scene, and the camera will use AR by default. -->
<!-- Note that world sensing is required to use AR raycaster with WebXR Viewer on iOS. -->
<a-scene ar>
<a-sphere radius="0.01" position="0 0.005 -0.5"></a-sphere>
<a-scene>

Plane detection and visualization: https://aframe-ar-plane.glitch.me
- NOTE: WebXR support for planes is still a work in progress, and this may not work yet with Mozilla's 2.0 version.
At time of writing, Chrome appears to need
chrome://flags#webxr-incubationsenabled for plane support. - (remix with Glitch here: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/remix/aframe-ar-plane?path=index.html)
