I'm still rather baffled. It's an immersive/spatial browser but it only runs on a Mac desktop and an AR headset I've never heard of. Can you see why people might be confused?


You're absolutely right - the current situation of this project can indeed be confusing. Thank you for bringing this up! Would you mind sharing which XR devices you'd ideally like to see JSAR support? I'd be happy to prioritize building a compatible version for your preferred platform in my roadmap.


Why not just target OpenXR on either Android or Windows? The former would probably cover 95% of users.


Actually, on our own AR devices, JSAR uses OpenXR to enable mixed rendering of web content and Unity scenes together. JSAR itself is a browser engine library, and it currently works in any AOSP + GLES3 environment (which should cover most devices except Vision Pro and Windows). However, I haven’t built a full browser app specifically for mainstream VR devices like the Meta Quest, as the project’s main focus right now is on implementing missing web standards.

I’ve also updated a detailed explanation about this issue—if you’re interested, you can read it here: https://m-creativelab.github.io/jsar-runtime/manual/quick-st...
