Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
A real, browser-native, on-device spatial-perception API now shipping on both Chrome Android XR and the Quest browser, but Working-Draft status plus privacy-driven accuracy/resolution variability means it must be defensively feature-detected
Next
Feature-detect the depth module per-device and prototype a single AR placement flow on Chrome Android XR and Quest 3; treat depth as an optional enhancement with a non-depth fallback
