NASA Mars rover Perseverance is going to launch on Martian surface on Feb 18th, 2021. Among many other goals, Perservance will search for any trace of any chemical building blocks of life. That’s exciting!
To celebrate this moment, we have launched a new experience in Web Augmented Reality. WebAR is a relatively new and cutting edge technology where you can experience the immersive AR experience without any traditional app or Hololens or any kind of headsets. It’s amazingly simple — just open it in browser and start interact with the augmented 3d model.
This is a step closer to democratize AR and bringing this immersive technology to everyone. Since it is broswer based, it can be opened from almost any device whether it’s a mobile, tablet, laptop or PC. The artificial intelligence based camera tracking system can notice and capture the AR marker and start playing 3D Augmented Reality with audio-visual experience.
The interesting fact about the marker is that you can keep it digital or print it out — in both ways it can augment the AR. Thus this is a whole new approach how print and digital media can be connected with a single technology.

Step 2: Focus Web app camera to AR-Marker
That’s it — Playing with Augmented Reality was never more easier :-)
Within last 24 hours from the launch, the engagement across the globe is getting higher. Below is a quick view of user view from many different countries. It is exciting to see how many people have used the WebAR across the globe.
So why to wait? Just try it now and bring Perseverance rover at your desk and play with it. Like, comment and share if you like the experience.
In future, we’ll try to bring more such experience using Web Augmented Reality. So your feedback is always welcome.
