Adding native AR to a Capacitor app

A web view can't open an AR camera — so for Bisons Go we wrote a native Capacitor plugin around Apple's ARKit and SceneKit.

The plugin renders monsters, treasure and coins at real GPS coordinates in the camera view and detects QR codes for instant player-versus-player duels — while the rest of the app stays a normal Ionic Vue codebase.

The takeaway: stay hybrid for 95% of the app, and drop to native only where the platform truly requires it.
