WorldCAST
Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada
What it is
WorldCAST is a browser-based, no-code platform for creating and publishing interactive WebAR experiences. It offers three studios: PrintCAST adds video, audio, 3D models, buttons, and links to print materials; GeoCAST places content at an address or geographic coordinate; and ShowCAST positions digital content at real-world scale in a space using SLAM. GeoCAST content can be discovered through a QR code, geofence, or link. Canva is integrated into PrintCAST, and the maker says Sketchfab 3D models are available within the studios. Creators can monitor audience use and analytics, with Advanced Analytics included in the paid Upgrade plan. The free Creator plan includes all studios, basic analytics, unlimited monthly views, and no expiry date. Upgrade costs $10 USD per CAST per month and adds Advanced Analytics, among other features. The maker says no app or software download is needed to create or access browser-based experiences, but its webAR editor is optimized for laptops and desktop computers, not mobile use. PrintCAST and GeoCAST videos have a 100 MB limit; ShowCAST does not support audio or video.
