The use of WebXR in editorial pieces is just starting to become mainstream. It is the future of storytelling and an entire new media vehicle to take advantage of.

3D and Augmented Reality embeds have been proven to drive engagement through the roof. At Yahoo we are pioneering this type of storytelling. Our goal is to engage and immerse the audience like never before, while also providing them a utility they would not have without these immersive experiences.
