Augmented Reality news...

Layar has just been put on the Market.

A new augmented reality app like wikitude but with more scope (from what I can see).

Both very cool and great to show Android nay sayers that your Hero is bloody ace

bloody brilliant thanks this will shutup some iphone lovers.

Got it.

Its showing sod all up here but that's because there is sod all up here. Off to Greece followed by Amsterdam in September and then Vancouver in Feb 2010. I'm going to hammer this app.

I think there are plans for more layers in the app - most are Netherlands based.

The Layar search is the most useful being driven by Google.

Wikipedia works to a certain degree but Wikitude shows far more points of interest.

Very promising technology though.

Great app. Could do with a few more users. As much as I like it not been on the iPhone we might need it to be on it as the more users the better

Ah but we got it first

I've had a play around with it this morning, it's pretty cool.

I have been bragging about it to my iPhone friends, they're not too pleased!

Wikipedia entry keeps loading...

indeed very nice app!

But my problem is that if I use wikipedia layer and try to open a wikipedia entry, I just get a white screen with Loading... on top, but it does not appear. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

solved

yep, this seemed to be a related problem to the facebook and flickr login problems
