## What it is
AR.js is a lightweight JavaScript library for augmented reality on the web, supporting marker-based and location-based AR at 60fps on mobile. This original repository has been moved to the AR-js-org organization and is no longer updated here.

## Use cases
- display 3d models in the browser with marker-based ar
- build location-based ar experiences on mobile web
- add augmented reality to a three.js or a-frame scene
- run web ar without installing an app
- create ar business cards with ar markers

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, fast web-based augmented reality without native apps
- you want marker-based or location-based ar with three.js or a-frame integration

## When to avoid
- you need the actively maintained version - use AR-js-org/AR.js instead
- you need image tracking or the latest features
- you require native ARKit/ARCore performance and capabilities

## Facets
