At the end of August, we reported about the updated to the Layar Augmented Reality browser which brought an amazing traffic view function to the app.
Well this morning Layar released three videos that demo a new 3D addition to its popular Augmented Reality Browser. The only word that comes to mind when I see the demo videos is “AWESOME!”.
You can expect to see the 3D augmented reality browser launch on Android in November. If you were wondering how it works, below is a description taken from the release post on the Layar website that details the enhancement:
Layar 3D makes use of OpenGL, the accelerometer, the GPS and the compass of the phone. Developers can place 3D objects in their content layers based on coordinates. Objects can be optimized in size and orientation to create an immersive and realistic experience. The 3D capabilities support live downloading and rendering of 3D objects. Actions such as “open link” or “play music” can be assigned to 3D objects.
Check out the demo videos below:
