Niantic’s 8th Wall development platform is making Easy WebAR custom maps possible. It’ll make creating augmented reality web apps a breeze!
Why WebAR and why Niantic’s 8th Wall? What is it? Niantic’s 8th Wall is their new web development platform.
8th Wall is powered by their Lightship AR technology—which is the same technology that powers Niantic’s games, like PokĂ©mon GO!
You can find out more information on the official 8th Wall website. It allows people to create immersive, augmented reality experiences accessible to everyone!
It removes the need of getting users to install an app. Instead, they can just access it from their browser using a website link/URL.
