What WorldCAST is
WorldCAST is a browser-based, no-code platform for creating and publishing interactive WebAR experiences. Its PrintCAST studio adds video, audio, 3D models, buttons, and links to printed materials, with audience analytics. GeoCAST lets creators place content at an address or geographic coordinate for discovery through a QR code, geofence, or link. ShowCAST uses SLAM to position digital content at real-world scale in a space. Canva is integrated into PrintCAST, and the maker says users can access Sketchfab 3D models within the studios. Creators can monitor audience use; Advanced Analytics is part of the paid Upgrade plan. The Creator plan is free and includes all studios, basic analytics, unlimited monthly views, and no expiry date. Upgrade costs $10 a month per CAST. The maker says no app or software download is needed to create or access the browser-based experiences, but its webAR editor is optimized for laptops and desktop computers, not mobile use. PrintCAST and GeoCAST accept videos up to 100 MB; ShowCAST does not yet support audio or video.
