New Chrome beta brings web-based AR & NFC to more users

The next version of Google Chrome will bring augmented reality and NFC to more web users. The Chrome 81 beta version for Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows adds WebXR support for browser-based AR. It will be a straightforward way to bring AR to users on different platforms without resorting to native apps.

The update also brings with it a new Web NFC framework that will allow mobile devices to interact with tappable objects without needing a native app or system-level features. These features, however, won't be useful until site developers make use of them.
