Layar

The Layar Reality Browser shows what is around you by
displaying real time digital information on top of the real world as
seen through your mobile phone. This technology is called
Augmented Reality. Layar augments the real world as seen
through your mobile phone, based on your location.
How does Layar's Augmented Reality work?
Layar works by using a combination of the mobile phone's
camera, compass and GPS data to identify the user's location
and field of view, retrieve data based on those geographical
coordinates, and overlay that data over the view.
