WebAR — augmented reality that runs directly in a mobile browser — is no longer a novelty. In 2026, it's becoming a critical competitive advantage for forward-thinking brands worldwide.

Why WebAR Matters Now

The friction of downloading a dedicated AR app used to be a major barrier. Studies show up to 70% of users abandon an experience when asked to download an app first. WebAR removes that barrier entirely — a customer scans a QR code or taps a link, and they're instantly in an AR experience.

Real Business Applications

Our clients at Visuosofts have deployed WebAR across several industries:

  • E-commerce — virtual try-ons for fashion and jewelry
  • Real estate — visualize furniture and fittings in empty properties
  • Retail — see how a sofa looks in your living room before buying
  • Education — 3D anatomy models for medical students

The Technology Stack

Modern WebAR is powered by WebXR APIs, 8th Wall, and our own proprietary tooling. Devices don't need any special hardware — just a modern browser on any iPhone or Android device.
