Finished laying out the maze. Added a simple camera control. Going to flesh it out into an orbiting camera. This builds on the AABB collision detection and animation work. @aframevr #THREEjs #indiedev https://t.co/uyh1YeF3Pe

Image Tracking and Location-Based AR with A-Frame and AR.js 3
Weโre happy to announce AR.js 3 and A-Frame integration featuring new image and location based tracking.
For detailed API reference and source code check the official documentation and the Github repository
Experiment with AR and A-Frame
Google Chrome and Oculus Browser are now shipping WebXR enabled by default for VR headsets. The Web magic doesnโt stop there. AR is also coming to the standard and you can experiment today on Android ARCore compatible devices and Chrome 79 or newer.
Enable the experimental WebXR AR module in chrome://flags and make sure your page is served over HTTPS. A-Frame 1.0.3 or newer automatically detects AR and shows the new Enter AR button:
A-Frame v1.0.0 - WebXR Support, AR Mode
Today marks A-Frameโs fourth birthday. Four years ago, on December 16th, 2015, we released the first version of A-Frame to make it easier to build VR experiences and make the Web keep pace with the VR industry.
With the help of a community of hundreds of thousands of developers over the years, weโre releasing A-Frame v1.0.0 to support the coming out of the WebXR spec which has been under discussion for the past several years. The upgrade to A-Frame v1 and beyond will become necessary on more and more browsers as they deprecate WebVR and only support the WebXR specification.
To clear confusion, WebXR refers to both AR and VR support on the Web. To that end, weโve included an AR mode out of the box in A-Frame for browsers that support ARCore and ARKit. In production, make sure to use HTTPS for VR and AR support.
Weโd like to thank in part Google for providing a bit of funding to us at Supermedium to help develop and maintain WebXR support for A-Frame. And to thank people within Google, Oculus, and importantly the Web community for testing this version for us. Weโll continue to provide necessary updates to A-Frame.
Weโd also like to celebrate now 300+ contributors, 10,000+ GitHub stars, and 300+ email subscribers to the A-Frame project.
If youโd like to continue to support us, please subscribe to the A-Frame newsletter where weโll not only provide updates and showcase community projects, but requests for testing and user feedback support every now and then to keep us going in this grassroots project.
Read the release notes and changelog.
A-Frame 1.0.0 is out! ๐ฅณ With full WebXR support shipping now in Chrome 79 and Oculus Browser stable channels. Deliver VR experiences instantaneously to millions of users today! Happy immersive Christmas! ๐

Hey devs! ๐ Remember to serve your content over HTTPS to enter VR mode in Chrome with A-Frame 1.0.0. WebXR is not available over HTTP.
