Build and publish a AR experience in minutes - completely for free - that can be immediately accessed by 3.45 billion active users. Absolutely no scripting needed and no previous knowledge required. All beginners welcome.
This will essentially be two talks in one - the first piece will be around what Spark is, where it started and how I became involved, what sets it apart from other AR ecosystems, and why Facebook cares about it so much.
