About supported device. #49

Hi! I'm korean university student. I have a question. Your WebARonARCore said that support only S8 device but, I'm using note 5 so, I got a popup as "my device is not supported" after downloding APK with my phone so, I wonder that this library support only new device? if so, I think that it cannot attract people those using older phone rather than S8 and I can't research this library. by any chance this library will support only new device now and forever? Have a nice day.

i heard stories about ARCore coming to more devices in the future, i also discovered a new project: 'usensAR' which is not launched yet.

There have been people with a hack to make it work on older devices, however the callibration is horribly off in these cases.

WebARonARCore can only run on devices that support ARCore; supported ARCore devices can be found here. It's up to the ARCore team to decide what devices are capable and when to be supported. I hope this helps!
