Re: awe.js released with a demo of AR working in a standard web browser

Hey Christine,

thanks 8)

We've got some ideas we're working on around adding affordances to 
websites - along the lines of what we showed when we first launched the 
Augmented Web at ARE back in 2012.

But one key point is that awe.js doesn't just do location based AR. 
We'll be releasing lots more examples over the next few weeks showing 
all the different ways it can be used and then announcing a new roadmap 
after that.

And I'll definitely be circulating some more ideas on updates to the CG 
soon so all feedback welcome.

Happy new year 8)
