Der ‘Augmented Reality Browser’ Layar (kostenlos; App Store-Link) erreichte im Herbst 2009 den App Store, verzog sich jedoch kurz darauf für (stark benötigte) Wartungsarbeiten wieder in seiner Entwickler-Werkstatt. Mit Version 3.0.2 und den kürzlich akquirierten 2.5 Millionen Euro Risikokapital im Rücken, wagt das niederländische Start-Up jetzt einen neuen Anlauf. Auf der Android-Plattform ist der Browser, welcher das reale Kamerabild mit virtuellen Ebenen überzieht, bereits sehr erfolgreich. Die neue Version soll nach Aussagen ihrer Entwickler über 400 dieser Informationsschichten (‘Layars’ genannt) bereithalten – von Staumeldern, über Umgebungs-Tweets bis zu nahegelegenen Supermärkten. Seitdem Apple im letzten Jahr das ‘Go!’ für den (Video-)Kamerazugriff auf dem iPhone 3GS gab, tummeln sich unzählige Anbieter auf diesem Software-Markt. Die Zukunftsperspektive von Wikitude (kostenlos; App Store-Link, der Volkswagen Händlersuche (kostenlos; App Store-Link), Peaks (2.39 €; App Store-Link), Gunman (kostenlos; App Store-Link), oder Tweet 360 (0.79 €; App Store-Link) scheinen dynamische Werbeeinblendungen.

As an avid hiker, this app really adds more to the views you can see in the great out doors. I have always get the question of "what mountain is that?" Now I have the answer. Would be cool if there was maybe a wikipedia link to give you more info on what you are looking at.
Very cool!

I still need to test the free peaks.ar app outside of network coverage, but I'm inclined to think that this app has one advantage over peaks.ar in that it will continue to work outside of data coverage. Otherwise, peaks.ar has this beat in terms of interface (map view is great) and price. If they add more functionality I'll definitely add two more stars!
You gotta love this app!

Brilliant idea for an app! This is one of the few apps that actually uses the full potential of my iPhone 3GS. Nice, simplistic UI that successfully hides the complexity of the program from the user = a lot of fun to use! Now I'll go and show those posers at the mountain top who really has his facts straight! :o)
Amazing!

What a great idea! I sure could have used this many times in the past 10 years. Thank you for developing this app.
