Layar has announced that their second generation Reality browser is now available world wide on Android devices. For Canadians, this means our HTC Dream/Magic!

For those that do not know what Layar is, Layar uses the camera on your Android device to display real time digital information over top of what you see through the camera lens. In other words, on top of the camera screen that you are looking at is a layer of 3D location-based content that is completely interactive.

So for example, using your device camera, Layar can show you popular locations such as restaurants, stores, local city information and many other results all through a 3D layer overlaid on your live camera screen.

Currently Layar has support from numerous third-party developers including Flickr, Yelp, Google and Twitter with more coming in the near future.

You can download the Layar Reality browser on your HTC device from the Android Market.
