Augmented Reality (AR) is on the rise, with live AR apps like Snapchat or Pokémon Go that are used by hundreds of millions of Users. With rising popularity, it also becomes more and more important for developers to have at least some experience with AR. And since we are in the age of frameworks where there are dozens of frameworks for each and everything, I thought: Why not act against the trend and implement AR using good old Plain Vanilla JS? Luckily, there happens to already be a beta Shape&Face Detection API that got released by the W3C earlier this year.
In this talk, I will introduce attendees to the Shape Detection API, go through some examples of AR in Web Development and also showcase a live face-filter service!
