Hi Stefan, it's definitely not that straightforward. Qualcomm are extending the standard AR browser to implement the AR related APIs (e.g. getUserMedia etc.) and then adding their libs based features on top. So your users would need Qualcomm's version of the Android browser installed.
On iOS I don't believe there's any option except to roll your own app. But of course you could do that using Qualcomm's tools if you like. https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobile-development/mobile-platforms/html5-mobile-web Of course the main activity here is just that Qualcomm are using this html5/AR web approach as a branding activity 8) But it's good to see even more people jumping this direction as it's obviously where we'll all end up. roBman On Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:30:55 +0200 Stefan Keller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Gagan > > Nice hint.
