Saluton TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of WebXR Depth API.

As Augmented Reality becomes more common on the smartphone devices, new features are being introduced by the native APIs that enable AR-enabled experiences to access more detailed information about the environment in which the user is located. Depth API is one such feature, as it would allow authors of WebXR-powered experiences to obtain information about the distance from the user’s device to the real world geometry in the user’s environment.
