Layar, worlds first mobile Augmented Reality browser

i call vaporware.

“buy your viagra here”, “this intersection brought to you by the coca-cola company”

and yes, crazySbg is right — that’s why there is a horizon grid on the screen — you’re supposed to line it up with the actual horizon to calibrate it. it’s just another twist on gps, not nearly as “OMGz FUTURE 1S NAO” as it looks.

afaik layer uses compass and gps data only, screen is therefore same no matter if I’m looking at the horizont or pointing to the ground. is this true? anybody ever tried this app? i only see videos.

WoW!!!!! 6/5 !!!!!

Good News people, this tech is soon to come to the new iPhone 3G S. The technology revolves around having both a compass and a GPS locator device. This is why the new iPhone needed a compass so badly. Just hold on a couple more months, and you iPhone users will have augmented tech on your phone.

ok…see…this is good tech right there!
cant way til they bring to the U.S.!

too bad the g1s screen is not as big as the iPhones.

It would be nice to see Apple do this the right way. I’m sure they will.

Now I again feel proud to be Dutch

cool if this stuff wil be available soon on every mobile platform.

This is the type of phone James Bond would have, awesome….

no way you can do that with your phone.

or in your contact lens..

looks like someones inferior did your parents come from a long line of small brained animals?

Sweet! So how can I find the best drug dealers?

Long Live the Iphone!!!!

Who is Positivebalance? I can’t find it in the comment section….

Imagine if that technology could fit into a pair of sunglasses…

Then design your own or shut the fuck up.

Some constructive criticism:

It’s too slow (come on big companies, cant you spend a few more dollars on a super fast phone processor so you can perfectly convey your idea?)

it should be SMOOTH, instant and real time (which is not asking for much). How will it get its information?

Secondly those “dots” need to go.they should appear as smaller dots so they wont take up the whole screen. No one wants to see the distance..if they can see it, odds are they can walk to it or take a quick taxi ride

Positivebalance is a pedophile!

Uhm , Does That Mean itts Only Availablee inn The Netherlands ? -_- that wouldd suckk

cool i have just blogged about it. i hope you will support other devices too like iphone, pre etc
