True, true. For example, if the ambient light sensing could deliver the kind of “estimation of ambient lighting” that Apple’s ARKit does, we could use that in rendering.
But, one question will be: what of these capabilities should just be part of “WebAR”, and which can be used effectively independent of WebAR? Especially when we think of issues discussed on this thread (e.g., threat models and security) having “things needed for AR” folded into WebAR, and accessible in the context of whatever permission model WebAR ends up using may be the way we want to go. -- Blair MacIntyre Principal Research Scientist [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > On Jul 24, 2017, at 11:07 AM, Mike Hoye <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > I have a sense that as AR gets richer and more nuanced that ambient light and > proximity sensing will become important as well, even if we're not there yet. > > - mhoye > > On 2017-07-24 10:39 AM, Blair MacIntyre wrote: >> I was just about to say the same thing.
