## Features

* **Image tracking**: track detailed images such as book covers, cartoons and photos. No need of manual training!

* **Pointer tracking**: create interactive experiences based on touch and mouse input with an easy-to-use API.

* **Plugins**: use encantar.js with the 3D framework of your choice, including A-Frame, Babylon.js, Three.js and more!

## Key points

* **AR everywhere**: it runs on Android, on iOS, and even on Desktop computers! Only a modern web browser is required.

* **Easy to use**: just load a static HTML page! No need of heavy app downloads, server-side components or subscriptions.

* **Device-agnostic**: no need of AR-capable devices! encantar.js is AR built from scratch with computer vision!

* **Fast & powerful**: encantar.js is GPU-accelerated. It uses WebGL2 and WebAssembly for turbocharged performance.

* **Open source**: personal, professional and educational uses are allowed.
