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.
Important!: You must activate GPS to use this application.
1. From the Home screen, tap (Applications) ➔
(Layar).
2. Read the Layar terms and privacy statement and tap
Accept. Layar initializes your favorites and performs
updates. The displayed tabs provide the following
information:
• Nearby: displays Layar locations marked as nearby to your current
location.
