Layar Reality Browser adds 3D to its Platform

Layar, the impressive mobile-phone augmented reality tool, has undergone another major revision and now supports 3D overlays in addition to the previous 2D overlays.  This opens a whole new world to AR developers who can now use it to overlay 3D objects into the viewable space.

“We are very excited to announce this groundbreaking addition to the platform. Augmented Reality is an experience medium, not just a tool or a substitute for maps. With 3D we deliver these experiences. The platform currently facilitates over 500 developers who from November onwards will have endless possibilities to create rich 3D multi-sensory Augmented Reality experiences.”
