Why This Whitepaper? Executive Summary
Augmented Reality developments in China have been a hot
topic in 2017. This document is providing a picture of the
current marketing possibilities landscape of AR within
WeChat, from a technical and user experience perspective.
It also brings a tentative analysis of what the world of
augmented reality in China might look like in 12 to 24
months’ time.
WHO IS THIS PIECE FOR?

3. 3
AR Is Very Likely to Be the Next Big Platform for Brands for to Gain
Viewership Dominance in WeChat's Highly Competitive Environment
o With the arrival of iOS 11 in fall 2017, AR is set to reach
every Chinese smartphone by the end of the year
o Both Apple and Google released kits - ARKit and ARCore -
enabling developers to quickly and easily create AR-based
app experiences
o Alibaba and Tencent bringing their red envelope (红包) war
for CNY 2017 into the AR world is a key indicator that we’re
facing the beginning of what could be the next user &
consumer experience revolution in China
o Although most analysts predict that the enterprise AR
market will lead the consumer market in the West, it would
not be a surprise if the AR revolution begins with the
consumer in China, starting from marketing and social use
cases
o The initial novelty of AR will offer excellent virality to the first
wave of campaigns and experiences
o As with most new interaction innovation, the novelty effect or
AR-based campaigns may die out quickly
2017 CNY red envelope
campaigns made a leap
into AR.

4. 4
WeChat AR Is Currently Limited to Web Based AR Technologies, But
It Compensates With Its Massive Reach
WECHAT MAKES MASS AR ENABLED CAMPAIGNS AVAILABLE, BUT
DOES NOT OFFER YET FULL MODERN AR RECOGNITION
CAPABILITIES
o At the moment, limited to browsing AR-enabled web pages (“Web
AR”) except couple narrow AR features built into the app (e.g.
real-time translation)
o Still far from the full capabilities of modern mobile AR (objects,
depth, surface, positioning and lighting condition recognition). In
other words, limited to Location Based AR where an object floats
in 3D space regardless of other objects
o But already offering a wide range of creative use cases for
consumer activation
o Currently limited to WeChat on Android devices - on the iOS
version we need to prompt users to open the AR experience
using Safari (might be fixed soon)
o With WeChat’s 900M+ users, brands can reach a large portion of
their audience through AR campaigns, making AR far more viable
than VR for mass consumption potential
WECHAT AR WILL FURTHER IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT 12-24
MONTHS, AND AN OPEN NATIVE AR PLATFORM BY TENCENT IS STILL
TO BE EXPECTED
o Behemoth third parties such as Tencent may pressure Apple to
allow their apps’ browsers access to camera and audio feeds. We
believe there’s a moderate possibility of this limitation being
removed within the next year- meaning Web AR will be
accessible directly through the WeChat browser on iOS
o Android WeChat Web AR is expected to improve steadily with the
growth in number of experiences released and developers
improving the software libraries available
o We believe trend of close collaborations between B/A/T and
brands is likely to continue with more opportunities for
multinationals and major Chinese companies to leverage ties with
Tencent to access WeChat’s app-specific AR capabilities
o Although Tencent is allegedly abandoning its own QAR platform
project, we believe the priority may have shifted to integrating
ARKit and ARCore SDKs as a base for it. We forecast Tencent
could start to open an AR framework to third parties in the next
12~24 months
5. 5
Should You Go for Web AR on WeChat Now?
o Using an AR Marker is an acceptable limit
o You can live with pure location Based AR where an
object floats in 3D space regardless of other objects
o Your target audience fits with the compatibility
requirements or if you can design a fallback, non-
AR experience for people who do not have a
compatible browser
o Redirecting users from the WeChat browser to the
native browser using the “open the website in
native browser” functionality is acceptable
o You cannot use a physical marker
o Targeting a very wide, heterogeneous audience with
no homogeneity in device type
o You need to include complex 3D and animations
o The user flow strictly requires staying within the
WeChat browser
o The experience needs a very reliable tracking system

8. 8
Augmented Reality is Inserting Content (2D/3D) into the User
Surroundings in Real Time
o Surroundings are captured via the phone camera feed and
augmented content is added in real time, based on user
interactions and device positioning (as opposed to
recognition based on image captured as snapshots,
which is already widely available and mature on
smartphones)
o AR has already been available on computers since 2000
with Flash; however, the low performance standards of
phones and other devices back then could not allow AR to
escape from a fixed, desktop setup - considerably reducing
its reach & usability
o Pokémon Go, launched in 2015, was the first mainstream
AR app success on mobile, reaching 60 million active users
at its peak and becoming a worldwide cultural phenomenon
o Building AR experiences will be much more accessible in the
future, thanks to ARkit and ARCore, and the larger support
of Web AR

AR Marker & full Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM)
are the Main Experience Difference Between Web and Native AR
NATIVE AR: NO MARKER NEEDED
- Very powerful understanding of the
environment : object, depth, surface
and lightning recognition
- High user friction due to requirement
of app download
WEB AR: MARKER REQUIRED
- Limited to Location Based AR
displaying floating objects in 3D
regardless of the surrounding objects
- Can be instantly accessed by loading
a web page

o Requires the user’s consent to access the camera
o Texture stays in a low-mid quality range, relatively
low polygon models (less than 100K polygons)
o Yes
o No
o No, only shape that can be tracked is a specific
marker (can be displayed on screen or paper), not
fast and powerful enough for visual odometry
11. 11
Native AR (App-based): Full Modern Capabilities but Highly Frictional
Native App-based AR is based directly
on native mobile applications. Their
deep, or “native” access to the mobile
phone’s capabilities and sensors allows
such AR technology to be sophisticated,
precise and powerful using a
Technology called Visual Odometry.
The largest pain point for advertising &
marketing use cases is the necessity of
an initial download. To solve that
problem, some campaigns piggyback
popular applications like Shazam or QQ
Mobile.
The iOS ARKit out in September 2017,
to be followed by the Android Google
ARCore, are development tools that are
a massive technological improvement
for AR technology commoditization,
allowing small development teams to
create AR experiences similar to or even
more advanced than Pokémon Go.
PROS
o Powerful, no need for custom markers,
understands room structure and lighting
o Able to render very sophisticated 3D
experiences due to low level access of
phone hardware
o No limitation in size of data and models
stored
CONS
o Embedded in an app, adds friction by
requiring downloads of the app and related
3D content
o Requires custom development for each
platform (iOS, Android)
IDEAL FOR
o Frequent use
o Experiences requiring very precise
Augmented Reality capacities
o Games
o Tablet-based advertising experiences

13. 13
Web-based AR: Less Powerful, but Potentially Universal
Web-based AR uses browser and web technologies
with higher level languages that do not allow access to
the same power and sophistication as native AR apps.
It is based mostly on open-source projects and
technologies.
Flash made AR possible in 2000, but after it died out,
there was a gap of several years- during this time,
Web AR evolution staggered.
Several AR libraries projects have been surfacing the
last few months, the most advanced of these being
https://github.com/jeromeetienne/AR.js (4,400 stars on
GitHub, started in February 2017).
PROS
o Accessibility: Through the browser, no app download
o Spreadability /virality: Easily shareable
o One codebase for all platforms
CONS
o Use of an AR Marker is mandatory
o Much more limited in terms of resources
o Reach: Browser compatibilities issues due to the
technology’s recency
IDEAL FOR
o Low frequency usage, such as one-shot campaigns,
events, etc.
o O2O information augmentation use cases

o Web AR is a collection of already existing open source front-end software libraries and conventions
put together.
o Description: Web
protocol defining how
the camera should be
used in a browser
o Status: Implemented
on the majority of
recent desktop
browsers, (Safari

September 2017)
o Description: Tool for

o Status: Latest
version can detect
simple shapes like
markers but cannot
map or understand a
room structure
o Description : Most
popular and mature

o Status : Mature, still
limited in animations,
3D format handling,
number of polygons
displayed and overall
performance when
compared to a native
AR app
+ + =
Web AR Sources and Tools
18. 18
o On Android, WeChat’s own native web engine
powers its web browser called X5, forked from the
Blink project by Google (itself forked from Apple’s
Webkit)
o Give the heterogeneity of Android devices, X5
enables WeChat to offer a more homogeneous
browsing experience than using the Webview. Earlier
versions of WeChat had to deal with several web
engines (QQ Browser, Blink, etc) which impacted the
device compatibility of h5 pages and campaigns
o For Web AR, it is a strength and a weakness.
Strength, because the results on WebAR are
homogeneous, and weakness, because of the
current weak tracking performance
o As of now, the tracking performance on X5 is
slighly inferior to Google Chrome or Safari
=> Expect this gap to be closed very quickly with the
growth of the community of developers in China

o WebRTC is implemented in Safari in iOS11
(September ‘17 release), allowing, amongst other
functionalities, the direct use of the camera and
microphone inside a web page.
o However, at the time of writing, when tested on iOS
11, the camera on WeChat browser was not made
available
o It appears that Apple did not enable WebRTC
(discussed on stackoverflow and reported on Apple
bugtracker here) for its Webview components, which
is used by Tencent for its WeChat browser
o It is probably a move to avoid any potential
cannibalization of their native ARKit. But behemoth
third parties such as Tencent might pressure Apple to
allow their apps’ browsers access to camera and
audio feeds

24. 24
Print & packaging Screens
Optimal Marker Placement for Maximum Reach and Attention
25. 25
o As of now, markers are mandatory for creating Web AR experiences
o They can either be printed or displayed on a screen (desktop, outdoor)
o Make sure it won't be clipped or cropped out, otherwise it won't be recognized properly
o Bes practices will surely evolve with the refinement of tracking technology, so the following points should be taken as
a starting point, knowing that there is still room for customization with custom tracking capacity development
o Customization tool example: Marker customizer app
Best practice: combining a QR Code to
access the AR website with the AR
Marker
Traditional AR Marker
QR code can be included
for easier access to the
experience
o Center part can contain
any kind of information
o We recommend
uncomplicated shapes for
better tracking reliability
o Should have a big black border
around the pattern; can be white
on black background or other
colors with custom development
Simple Marker Shapes Better for Tracking Performance

(or Close to It)
27. 27
o Design experiences which require minimal camera movement to avoid
part of the marker going out the frame during the experience, which would
result in an abrupt loss of tracking
o A low polygon-based design allows faster loading of 3D models and
smoother experiences since there are fewer polygons to calculate each
second
o Using shadow effects blends the experience into the real environment;
however, such shadows are not “intelligent”- they are fixed and part of the
3D object, and do not evolve according to the real environment’s
lighting conditions

o For Wechat iOS
o Based on iOS10 reaching 50% penetration within a
month of its release in 2016, expect that 90% of
compatible devices will be running Apple’s
latest OS - that enables WebAR in Safari - by the
end of the year
o Probability of Access to WebRTC from
WebView: Moderate, following the release of
iOS11 mid-September, might be a voluntary choice
to restrict access to avoid competition with ARkit
applications
o For Wechat Android
o Optimization of X5 browser performances to
reach a refresh rate identical to Chrome or Safari
o Probability: High, end-2017 to beginning-2018
o For Web AR
o More widespread adoption of low-level web
languages like Web Assembly, instead of high-
level ones such as JavaScript with massive
calculations; also highlighting of reliability
improvements, especially on the tracking side
o Probability: High, over the next 2-3 years
o Native AR API within browsers
o Google is already working on a prototype:
https://github.com/google-ar/three.ar.js
o Probability: High, over the next 2 years

o Tencent has been developing its own open native AR
framework, first introduced in December 2016
o The Framework’s ambition is to be offered cross
Tencent applications: Wechat, QQ etc.
o It would allow mutualizing recognition capacity across
a wide range of use cases, in a privacy/data sharing
trade-off with brands and businesses using the
platform
o However, in a probable strategic move to avoid
having to build and maintain their own native AR
framework up to the benchmarks set by Google and
Apple, they are allegedly abandoning its in-house
development
o The strong ambition Tencent has shown by
venturing into AR indicates that a third party-
enabled AR platform is still on the table. Instead,
the priority may have shifted to integrating ARKit and
ARCore SDKs as a base for AR projects
o It is likely this technology will be core for WeChat’s
Mini Programs, as they allow the harnessing of
device processing power over that of browsers
