Layar Vision Extension Combines Augmented Reality With Real World Objects
Layar the largest of the mobile augmented reality platforms has today
announced the launch of its new Layar Vision Extension, that allows
its applications to now recognise real world objects and place augmented
reality information on top of them.
The new Layar Vision extension uses detection, tracking and computer
vision techniques to augment objects in the
physical world. Recognising
which objects in the real world are augmented via the visual
fingerprints of the objects,
which are preloaded into the application
based on the user’s layer selection. Watch the video after the jump to
see
the new Layar Vision extension in action to get a better idea on how
the new system works.
Layar have launched a
competition to promote their new Layar Vision extension, allowing
developers to create innovative applications using it.
"We’re giving away a total of $55,000 in cash to 10 developers
who create the most useful, most unique and simply the coolest layers
with Layar Vision that make us say "Wow!”
