Introducing the Mobile Reality Browser…

Augmented reality browsing seems to be hitting the mobile scene in the a big way. Aside from Wikitude (which focuses on delivering travel-related info), the most talked-about player in the augmented reality browsing space is Layar. Layar has recently created and released an application that takes mobile browsing to the next level. Their mobile application essentially turns the mobile phone camera viewer into a real-time information portal. Layar shows what is around you by displaying digital information on top of the reality you are viewing through your phone’s camera.

At the moment, Layar’s mobile reality browser only runs on Android. If you are an Android user, you can download the app here. For the rest of the world, see video below…
