WebAR: augmented reality that runs at a URL
No app store, no install, no account. A visitor scans a QR code or taps a link and the camera, tracking, and 3D all run inside the phone browser. This is the category every shipped project below actually used, so the "used in" column is the most filled in on this page.

A recurring lesson across the projects above: MediaPipe's wasm runtime and model
files are CDN-hosted by default. Venue wifi that cannot reach jsdelivr or Google's storage will
break hand or face tracking silently. Self-hosting those files under
public/ is the
fix, and gelora-soil already does this.
