If you haven’t heard (and you belike have), Layar has additional 3D capabilities to their Augmented Reality Browser. You haw astonishment what that effectuation and kinda then essay to vindicate in whatever theoretical terms, analyse discover these videos that the consort locate unitedly to illustrate:

The pacman characters, plane and 3D book were every rendered within the Layar browser. The consort is gift utilization admittance to these 3D capabilities to 500 developers who crapper create newborn types of experiences for users of Layar. If you’re an fascinated developer meet http://dev.layar.com.  A newborn edition of the app module be acquirable on Android Market in November, reaching with a Layar 3.0 edition – perhaps it should be Layar 3D.0?

Some engrossing points are prefabricated in the Layar 3D FAQ:

How does it work?

Layar 3D makes ingest of OpenGL, the accelerometer, the GPS and the grasp of the phone. Developers crapper locate 3D objects in their noesis layers supported on coordinates. Objects crapper be optimized in filler and class to create an immersive and graphic experience. The 3D capabilities supports springy downloading and performance of 3D objects. Also its doable to interact with 3D objects by distribution actions much as “open link” or “play music”.

No dummy, I’m a developer. How does it work?

Layar3D builds upon the underway Layar Developers API by allowing place developers to enrich POI aggregation with 3D objects: In constituent to the lat/lon information, developers module be healthy to take elevation and pitch/angle for apiece goal as substantially as ultimate animations. Each goal module be fetched by the computer from a address given by the developer in the POI information. Layar module wage every the tools necessary to create the required 3D info supported on the universally acknowledged OBJ info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obj).

So let’s center from you, our awing reader… what types of layers and experiences would YOU same to wager created with this newborn Layar 3D technology?
