Well, if they want more Layers, they should set an open standard, and open it up to the public completely. In under a year, if popular enough, everything could change.

I’d imagine a “user post” layer would be cool, so people could make notes about things in the physical world, or leave AR messages for other people who encounter the same location.
Another layer could be for finding friends, in close proximity to you… Just look through the screen and the phone will point you in the right direction, or just tell you where everyone is.

The possibilities are LIMITLESS… especially if you create new types of layers, Public, Private, and shared. So each user can manipulate their own versions of the AR world.

Good move by Layar especially if they rattle the dev cages and get enough people to take them up on their open platform. The biggest problem I see with AR right now is the fact there will be hundreds of competing layers out there, all asking for the limited amount of engaged participants in the space to come play with it. One layer to rule them all is the way to go, provided its good enough.

Won’t belong before the mother of all layer players gets on the scene though.. Google.

Cool, and I wish them success.
But Id rather have an open AR-standard where streams of data from multiple independent sources can be viewed at the same time.
Like IRC channels presented as togglable photoshop-style layers.

Since when has there EVER been an augmented reality browser of any sort on any platform ever before?

No, it cant, because apple havnt supplied a video api, and unofficial apis arnt allowed to be used in apps for sale.
