WebAR, or as we like to call it, browser-based AR, is augmented reality that can be experienced from a mobile browser, straight from your smartphone. Why is this such a big deal?

Imagine a parallel digital universe. A place where anything is possible and everything can be anything. You can see what others can't, or participate together in the same dimension. You could switch your vision from work to navigation to gaming to socializing with a flick of a switch. This will be the future, as there is a multitude of companies and organizations developing such an environment. It is called the AR Cloud. What will this parallel reality be like?

Augmented reality is a concept most are familiar with, most having experienced it in the form of a facial filter on social media, by interacting with 3D objects like furniture or through Pokemon Go. These all involve interacting with augmented reality through visual or tactile cues, but what about sound? Audio brings a level of immersion to AR experiences no visual element can.

Greenpeace decided to use augmented reality to globally raise awareness for the Great Northern Forests and their trees.
