What’s palan AR?

Based in 2016, palan is a startup centered on augmented actuality (AR) applied sciences.

Its platform, palanAR, allows customers to create WebAR experiences with out the necessity for coding. Along with palanAR, the corporate affords a number of different merchandise, together with ‘TOBIRA,’ an AR digicam, ‘palan3D,’ a 3D administration and modifying service, and ‘WebXR Commerce,’ which permits customers to discover digital shops instantly of their net browsers.
