I think the project is cool, but with Google recently putting real work into this effort[1] I don't see how this project is going to succeed over the competition in the long-run. This is hard stuff. Marker-based AR is not enough. And as far as I can tell from the creators twitter account, he doesn't seem to have the necessary math background to tackle the research heavy papers needed to implement the really cutting-edge stuff. Hopefully some computer vision PhD can help out otherwise I would bet my development time on the stuff Google is creating.

Here's something you probably don't know, since you're so quick to dismiss AR.js. AR.js uses Google's WebAR where it is available. So no, WebAR is not competition for AR.js, anymore than Native ES7 support in Chrome is competition for Babel.
