Augmented Reality is a new medium

The unique quality of AR medium is The Third Dimension (3D) of reality

That’s why this medium is relevant

Augmented Reality is an “Experience Medium”not just a functional tool

Detailed 3D model on top of construction site

While holding up your phone, you can walk around the building, look underneath or even inside of it. Experience the future before it has been realized.

“See what you can’t see”

Re-create the past

Imagine: Summer 2010, Colosseum, Rome

... and hear the lions roar

“Old” art

New art?Inside of a piece of art inspired by Mondrian

It’s through the (3D) objects that we experience

3D objects placed above your house

Experiences!

Example: “experience domes”:

You see a 3D dome. While holding up your phone, you walk inside the

dome.Once inside of the dome, your

landscape changes - all of a sudden you are in the middle of a Japanese street. You look around you and see

the skyscrapers and street signs, and hear Japanese street sounds.

You teleport yourself to a new world.maandag 11 januari 2010

Red Bull parked cars around town

Find the car, turn the key and win two tickets for RedBull Air Race

How are we going to achieve this

EventsWith this events we want to bring the whole Layar AR ecosystem, which includes

developers, artists, (game)designers, storytellers, media agencies and brands, together. We would like to create a synergy between different groups and backgrounds to discuss and drive content creation for Augmented Reality.

Want to organize a event yourself please contact us at events@layar.com

We will try to facilitate you in the best possible way

Connecting brands and agencies with developers Facilitating developers Inspiring developers with cool ideas

Tips - How to improve your layers

Set bounding box for your local layer

Define the local bounding box for a layer Specify one or more bounding boxes for your layer, so that it can be found underneath the “local” tab in the Layar Browser. Enable hyper-local & relevant content discovery.

Customize icons Better look and feel & increase re-usage

Auto-triggered actions Provide the user with an experience

How to define auto-triggered actions The layer may now contain POIs with auto-triggered actions. Think of an audio file that plays automatically when the user enters a 3D virtual building or a web page that gets called when the user reaches the treasure in a treasure hunt.
