**ARChat** is a research project as a Chrome plugin that renders live captions
and relevant images directly onto the camera stream for online video conferences.
It helps developers and researchers to prototype novel AR experiences with
real-time and real-world conversations.

The project is no longer under active maintenance and we encourage new
contributors to add this feature to [XR Blocks](git@github.com:google/xrblocks.git)
