WorldCAST is a browser-based, no-code platform for making and publishing interactive WebAR experiences. Its three studios serve different uses: PrintCAST adds video, audio, 3D models, buttons, and links to printed materials; GeoCAST anchors content to an address or geographic coordinate for discovery by QR code, geofence, or link; and ShowCAST places digital content at real-world scale in a space using SLAM. Canva is integrated into PrintCAST, and the maker says Sketchfab models are available in the studios. Creators can monitor audience use, with Advanced Analytics included in Upgrade. Creator is free, has no expiry, and includes all studios, basic analytics, and unlimited monthly views. Upgrade costs $10 USD per CAST per month and adds Advanced Analytics and removes the free banner. No app or download is needed to create or access experiences, but the editor is optimized for laptops and desktop computers, not mobile. PrintCAST and GeoCAST accept videos up to 100 MB; ShowCAST does not support audio or video.
