Technology & platform

Mobile AR and WebXR for accessible spatial experiences.

Not every XR use case needs a dedicated headset. Mobile AR can reach users on supported smartphones and tablets, while WebXR can lower installation friction for suitable browser-based experiences.

Technical context

What we consider when working with Mobile AR & WebXR.

Platforms are selected according to use case, audience, required functions, operations and availability — not brand preference.

01

AR on supported iOS and Android devices

02

Browser-based WebXR where platform support fits

03

Lower hardware and onboarding barriers

04

Location-based and product visualization experiences

05

Responsive interaction concepts

06

Capability detection and graceful fallback paths

Platform choice

Technology is only a good fit when it works in production.

Alongside rendering and interaction, we review rollout, device management, update paths, availability and the actual operating environment.

Clarify before committing

  • Which functions are available on the planned device generation?
  • Which OpenXR or platform-specific extensions are genuinely required?
  • How will apps, devices, users and updates be managed in production?
  • Which performance, ergonomics and offline requirements apply on site?

Frequently asked questions

Mobile AR & WebXR in project context.

Is WebXR supported everywhere?

No. Browser and device support varies, so capability detection and fallback options are important.

When is mobile AR better than a headset?

When reach, ease of access and short interactions matter more than hands-free use or deep immersion.

Check Mobile AR & WebXR against your actual use case.

We evaluate platform fit, target hardware, 3D data, integration and operations together instead of selecting technology in isolation.
