WebAR Experiences That Work Anywhere

WebAR (web-based augmented reality) is transforming online engagement across retail, marketing, and more. A top use case is in e-commerce: brands enable shoppers to virtually try on products or preview items in their space using just a smartphone browser (for example, seeing a 3D couch in your living room or a 3D shoe on your foot). This interactive “try-before-you-buy” approach builds buyer confidence and has been shown to lift conversion rates – one eyewear retailer saw a 32% increase in sales after implementing AR try-ons. Another key use case is interactive marketing campaigns: WebAR can be triggered via QR codes on print ads, packaging, or in-store displays, instantly launching an AR experience that surprises and delights consumers (think AR games on a product box or an AR info portal from a poster). Because WebAR runs in the browser, it offers maximum reach – anyone can join an AR experience with a simple link, so brands can engage far more users compared to requiring a special app.

It’s also cost-effective and quick to deploy, leveraging standard web technologies. Businesses are using WebAR for virtual product demos, interactive tutorials, and even remote assistance, thanks to its ease of access. Overall, WebAR is best for brands who want to harness AR’s WOW factor and interactive depth without erecting barriers for users. It creates immersive, personalized experiences that drive engagement, dwell time, and purchase confidence – all through the convenience of the web.
