Welcome! 👋
This is the project repository is based on the amazing ground work of https://github.com/sopra-steria-norge/get-started-with-ar-web
We enahnced it to simulate a furniture shopping experience as described in our related Medium blog post WebAR in eCommerce: Bringing the retail experience to your living room.
To get up and running, clone the repo and run the following commands to install dependencies and start the app using localtunnel.
npm install
npm run start:live
This will install the app dependencies, start an instance of webpack-dev-server and expose the local web server to the internet using. The localtunnel URL will be printed to your terminal.
As the app is running on a mobile device, you won't be able to easily access the devtools directly in the mobile browser. For development and debugging, attach the device to your machine using a cable and access the url chrome://inspect/#devices in your desktop version of Chrome. Allow debug access when prompted on your device. You should then be able to see your device appear in the inspection window you opened earlier, where you can use the inspect functionality to get access to the running app instance for debugging.
Thanks to Poly by Google for the Koala model.
