Layar
Layar is the baby of mobile innovation company SPRXmobile. The “world’s first mobile Augemented Reality browser” allows users to actually see what they are searching for, from jobs in the area they’re standing in to the closest ATM. Layar was originally launched for the Dutch market and works on mobile phones hooked up with a camera as well as GPS and a compass. The application is first available through the Android operating system, but development with a focus on the iPhone 3G S is in the works. A launch in the US (as well as Germany and the UK) are planned for this year. Keep your eyes peeled and in the meantime, watch this.
And I remember when the camera phone was huge…
