Open and interoperable Augmented Reality tools will provide publishers the largest audiences (aka "reach") and users with the greatest variety of experiences, without sacrificing choice of AR-enabled players.

This portal is dedicated to advancing the dialog around open and interoperable AR as well as documenting the sources of specifications and interfaces that provide alternatives to single-vendor silos. Our open AR Community meetings bring together stakeholders for status updates and provide a platform for collaboration among those who might not otherwise have an interest or a desire to work towards open and interoperable AR.
