Augmented Reality for the web

I'm Ready

It's easy even with Vanilla.JS

Some libraries exist which makes this much easier

http://www.rtcmulticonnection.org

http://simplewebrtc.com

Or complete hosted services

https://datachannel.io

We'll use a library for the demo

            
var connection = new RTCMultiConnection();
var container = document.querySelector('#container');
var triggerButton = document.querySelector('#startButton');

connection.session = { audio: true, video: true };

connection.onstream = function(e) {
  container.appendChild(e.mediaElement);
};

connection.connect();

triggerButton.onclick = function() {
  connection.open();
};
