WebAR is short for Web-based Augmented Reality, it is an app-less augmented reality experience that plays directly in your browser.
The technology is relatively new and does not require a mobile application to function. Users can access AR experiences directly from their smartphone using the native camera and a mobile web browser.
We, at Queppelin, have an industry-leading team of experts who develop & deploy App-less Augmented Reality Experiences. Our expert developers can bring your virtual ideas to life.
WebAR experiences or Augmented Reality experiences, witness high engagement durations. A study revealed that on average 80% of users spend more than 1 minute engaging with an AR Experience.
Without the hurdle of installing apps on mobile, App-less augmented reality enhances the ability of marketers to reach 3.8 billion smartphones globally.
WebAR is compatible across both iOS and Android operating systems which makes it more accessible to masses.
Appless augmented reality on mobile, accessible directly from a web browser, is increasingly popular. WebAR offers many ways to optimize the user experience.

Do I need a special browser to access Augmented Reality in a Browser? The answer is NO.
Augmented Reality is supported by all major mobile and desktop browsers that allow access to the camera and interpret the WebAssembly. However, there may be differences in performance and rendering between some browsers.
If the experience is not compatible with the current browser, the application will prompt the user to open a compatible browser.
Marker-based AR experience requires identification of markers/user-defined images to function. It requires a marker to activate an augmented reality experience. Markers are distinct patterns that cameras can easily recognize and process, and are visually independent of the environment around them. These apps work best when augmentations are tied to a specific object
Marker-less AR offers the most control to the user as it allows the user to choose where they would like to place the content. It also allows real-life scale placement of virtual augmented objects. These AR experiences are highly reliant on smartphone features such as sensors, cameras, and processors.
To create and position a believable AR model without using any markers, apps use GPS and built-in sensors, as well as complex scene and object recognition algorithms. This type is used when augmentations are supposed to adapt to various locations.

In Augmented Reality, the digital elements are added to layer the user’s real-world or enhance it with the virtual effect.
Mixed reality creates an environment where the user can interact with the virtual objects. Instead of residing in a completely virtual world, mixed reality helps the user stay in the real world and gives the advantages of the virtual world.

Mixed reality creates an environment where the user can interact with the virtual objects. So instead of residing in a completely virtual world, mixed reality helps the user stay in the real world and gives the advantages of the virtual world.
Now to answer your question of how these reality techs are different from each other.
VR replaces the original building into virtually simulated graphics whereas Augmented Reality, takes the same instance of building architecture simulating the actual building, to be built in the real.
Finally, in Mixed Reality, the technology helps to hook the virtual objects and make them responsive to/in the real world and provide the appearance of virtual interactions to be authentic to the user.
The marker-based AR is generally used to display visual information about a particular product.
It can be animation from your child’s playbook or a detailed particular of a wine bottle. These objects are known as markers.
To convey the information, your camera or a sensor must be pointing directly on to it so that it can recognize the image and retrieve the relevant information.
For example, augmented reality can showcase a three-dimensional animated hand out of the poster through a mobile app. The QR code on the poster acts as a marker in this case.
As the name suggests, there is no marker in this type of augmented reality.
It allows the user to overlay/place virtual object(s) in a destined place decided by the user.
For instance, if you want to try a new refrigerator or sofa set in your living room, the type of AR utilized is called markerless AR.
For example, the Queppelin’s furniture retail platform app lets you choose your favorite furniture from their catalog and place it in the desired location selected by you.
Earlier, Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality users were required to download or gain access to an application or software to operate AR or VR.
With the up-gradation of the AR tech, the users can access the VR world or AR experience through webAR in a hassle free-way.
WebAR allows users to access the AR experience through a web browser directly. It implies that a person only needs a smartphone to gain an augmented reality experience without having to download an app directly onto your phone.
