Description

In order to allow seamless experience without need to end/start xr session, it would be great to be able to add/remove tracked images with running xr session.

Additionally requirement of widthInMeters is fairly limiting. Underlying AR systems are capable of estimating and refining dimensions over time. Also technology is improving over time, likely making such requirement obsolete.
We already have measurer apps WebXR AR, which do a good job on allowing measuring physical space with virtual measurer.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing image-tracking specification and its WebXR session and tracked-image requirements. The proposal covers adding and removing tracked images during a running session and reconsidering the required widthInMeters value; done would require agreed API behavior and requirements for both concerns.
