As we explained in early posts, iPhone will release in september the live video library that will allow systems like Layar to be used on apple devices.

For now Layar works only on Android phones.

Layar situation

Already downloaded 50.000 times since launched, there are already 68 layers available around the globe.
You can find stores, tourist guides, transit info and many others. 110 layers are yet to come..

Mr. Lens-FitzGerald, co-founder of Layar said:

“There are already local directories like Google Local search, but with Layar, you can supply services based on that customer at that moment. Layar allows for context-aware services, because the phone has sensors of where that person is, who that person is, what kind of weather there is. It’s not just about finding people; it’s about providing a service that’s context-aware. [Consumers] found you; how can you help them right now?”

There is a part of the developers AR community that still need a sign to believe in AR Mobiles

Which AR Mobile Browser you'd prefer?
