Description

How it works​

Built entirely using standards-compliant JavaScript and WebGL, 8th Wall Web is a complete implementation of 8th Wall’s Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) engine, hyper-optimized for real-time Web AR on browsers. AR features include World Tracking, Image Targets, Face Effects, and Sky Segmentation.

The 8th Wall Cloud Editor allows you to develop fully featured WebAR projects and collaborate with team members in real time. Built-In Hosting allows you to publish projects to multiple deployment states hosted on 8th Wall’s reliable and secure global network, including a password-protected staging environment. Self-Hosting is also available for certain plans.
