3 years ago Hey, we're actually working on this now: https://github.com/xr3ngine/xr3ngine/tree/dev/packages/native-plugin-xr
But would love to contribute to a shared community codebase instead.
Since WebXR is already a spec, we have considered just supporting WebXR API first (we are doing same with VR in cap-electron) and treating this like a native polyfill.
This was kind of done for Cordova and could be ported: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-webxr
Right now we have Android working with a basic API, and are moving on to develop iOS.
I'm sure a lot of people will want a lot of features, but first sticking to the WebXR spec might be a good way to give developers a cross platform solution to start with.

In regular JavaScript, which would obviously work in Capacitor/Cordova, you can use the combo of AR.js + A-Frame + three.js, though it is a limited in what it can do, compared to native ARKit and ARCore.
Otherwise, your only other options are:
