[w3ctag/design-reviews] WebXR Depth API (#550)

Saluton TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of WebXR Depth API.

As Augmented Reality becomes more common on the smartphone devices, new features are being introduced by the native APIs that enable AR-enabled experiences to access more detailed information about the environment in which the user is located. Depth API is one such feature, as it would allow authors of WebXR-powered experiences to obtain information about the distance from the user’s device to the real world geometry in the user’s environment.

  - Explainer¹ (minimally containing user needs and example code): https://github.com/bialpio/webxr-depth-api/blob/master/explainer.md

  - Security and Privacy self-review²: https://github.com/bialpio/webxr-depth-api/blob/master/security-privacy-questionnaire.md

  - GitHub repo (if you prefer feedback filed there): https://github.com/bialpio/webxr-depth-api

  - Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification):
      - Piotr Bialecki, @bialpio, Google, Editor

  - External status/issue trackers for this feature (publicly visible, e.g. Chrome Status):

Further details:

  - [x] I have reviewed the TAG's [API Design Principles](https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/)
  - The group where the incubation/design work on this is being done (or is intended to be done in the future): Immersive Web CG (planned)
  - The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done ("unknown" if not known):  Immersive Web WG (planned)
  - Existing major pieces of multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this design: https://github.com/bialpio/webxr-depth-api/issues

  - Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this design: No issues exist yet, this is an early stage proposal that has not been fully reviewed.
  - This work is being funded by: N/A.

You should also know that...

N/A.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
