Google Chrome the other day, at the I/O conference, the Google company announced a very interesting new function for iPhone and Android phones, it not being 100% new, because information about the implementation has appeared in the past. More precisely, we are talking about the implementation in Google Chrome for iPhone and Android of support for the WebXR API, which allows the integration of augmented and virtual reality experiences directly from the browser.
Google Chrome has a similar function implemented in the version for computers for a very short time, and those from Google want to offer it also for phones in the very near future, making a demonstration for it the other day. Using this new WebXR API, developers can create web pages where the Google Chrome browser will allow users to play with augmented and virtual reality directly from iPhone and Android phones when they feel like it.
Google Chrome: GREAT feature for iPhone and Android
Google Chrome has shown, although still in beta, that augmented and virtual reality can find a much easier place in our lives through the screens of mobile phones thanks to this new API for developers. The Google company presented to journalists a very simple demo for an augmented reality experience, Google Chrome managing to run it as well as similar experiences created by developers for the AppStore and Google Play are run in applications.
Google Chrome, as you can see in the image above, can greatly simplify the launch of augmented and virtual reality experiences without the need to install separate applications for each one. Google Chrome can allow the creation of websites that gather such experiences so that people can discover them much more easily and be able to use them immediately, instead of struggling with downloading the various applications that exist in stores such as AppStore and Google Play .
