ARE2011

Still recovering from an augmented reality that happened last week. The video footage below shows elements from the Augmented Reality Event (ARE) 2011 in Santa Clara, CA on May 17-18.

This was the 2nd annual event of the largest conference dedicated to the business of augmented reality. Start-ups, developers, mobile and hardware companies along with organizations within entertainment, media, education, healthcare, government, tourism, and many more, will gather to evolve this hot technology sector into a productive, sustainable and entertaining new medium.

The Layar Player is a unique piece of code that can be embedded directly within your own iPhone app. Yes, seems it only is available for iPhone apps. Nice thing is there are no licensing costs and the player has the same functionality as the Layar AR browser.

Snowboard Hero

The launch features three applications that have implemented the player. Layar Player – Snowboard Hero for iPhone Video

This Microsoft Bing sponsored app gives players the ability to collect extra credits by firing up the augmented reality Layar Player after playing the game to use for purchasing gear for the game avatar.

I expect with this new feature, we will see more mobile location based augmented reality being used in a variety of applications. Visit this part of the Layar site to learn more. Nice work Layar team!

Share and Enjoy !

Its looks pretty nice.  The maps are smooth, but traffic is kind of hard to read. The maps fad into each other when they update which is nicer then the snap on the iphone default map, but the iphones is easier to read.  The image on the main page looks like the normal Bing site and there are even little info doors as with the main site. Whats cool here is a little mike in the upper right that allows you to speak you search term.

There are 6 buttons on the front, images, movie, maps, businesses, news, and directions. The businesses button is cool.  Click on it and you are given sub menu, then it performs a search for that category in your location.  There is nothing really new here as far as functionality, but the UI design is pretty good. The search results are pretty clean, giving results and a quick image search. Oh, BTW, did I mention its, free?  Yea, in the App store. I’ll play with it more later, but for now, on to the screenshots!

Share and Enjoy !
