Ah, so this was what my Twitter buddy , @delchoness has been up to. Dave Elchoness is a leading designer and developer of Layar mobile augmented reality and virtual worlds. He’s a co-founder of GoWeb3D. In this video he shows the different apps they’ve done using the Layar Reality Browser. For users (in this case, for US residents/visitors), that means getting the different benefits of the AR medium.
I wonder what he will do next when Layar goes 3D in November? I also look forward to self-publishing capability for AR/ That would be very interesting for both business and individuals. I can imagine location-based games getting a boost from this. Imagine leaving clues / info / messages that only friends or players can access. Of course the issue of how to filter noise and clutter from the message needs to be addressed. I don’t want AR landscape to become like a metropolis full of gigantic billboards.
