Layar: The Reality Browser
by James Marzano on Aug.25, 2009, under Aug Reality, Mobile UX
Imagine your Web browser was a window onto the real world. Instead of seeing Web pages inside that browser window, you see the environment around you–except with an added layer of data on top of it. Layar’s AR is a bit like that. “We’re like Firefox, we’re a window in an operating system,” says Lens-FitzGerald. Only this one works through your smartphone camera, where its on-screen viewfinder displays the camera view enhanced with extra information connected with exactly what you’re looking at, or the direction you’re looking in.
