Unity WebAR Foundation
Announcing our new unity package - Unity WebAR Foundation - designed to assist Unity developers in creating web-based AR applications.
This software package provides pre-built integration for commonly used WebAR SDKs via JavaScript plugins, empowering developers to build HTML5 AR applications with features like Image Tracking and Face Tracking effects. Unity WebAR Foundation is akin to Unity AR Foundation but tailored specifically for web browsers rather than native applications.

Quick Previews
Developer friendliness is our top priority, and we are excited to showcase videos that demonstrate how to build a web image tracking and face tracking application from a fresh Unity project in just 2 and 3 minutes respectively!
The package also includes debuggers that can be run directly in the editor to trigger detection events. Check out these tutorials: Image Tracking Debugger and Face Tracking Debugger
Live Demo
Actions speak louder than words. You can find and try out some live demo applications here:
