*Summary*
The WebXR Plane Detection API allows sites to retrieve the set of
planes detected in the user's environment. This is both less work for
developers and more powerful than using the depth-sensing WebXR
feature as planes such as walls that are occluded by objects can still
be fully represented if the system is aware of the boundaries of the
wall. (Whereas a depth map would show the wall, but it would be broken
up by any objects in front of the wall, potentially obscuring the full
scope of the wall). Further, semantic labeling information is exposed
where the device is aware of such labels and they fit into predefined
categories, allowing better knowledge about the world.

*Interoperability and Compatibility*
/No information provided/
/Gecko/:
Defer (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1346) Presumptive
Defer due to that being the state of all other WebXR positions due to
current lack of support/development.
/WebKit/: No
signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/608)
/Web developers/: Positive
/Other signals/:
*WebView application risks*
Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such
that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
/No information provided/
*Debuggability*
/No information provided/
*Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows,
Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?*
No
WebXR itself is only support on Android and Windows, and not on
Android WebView. This will be supported on all platforms, but primary
usage is expected to be on Android.
*Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>?*
Yes

*Anticipated spec changes*
Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github
issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution
may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or
structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
