Layar brings its augmented reality to Google Glass

Share

Augmented reality is fun and all, but holding your phone to your face always seemed, to us, like too much effort. Layar agrees, which is why the outfit has now brought its AR secret sauce to Google Glass. Once the APK is installed, saying “OK Glass, scan this” will see the head-mounted wearable find additional content for your right eye. Considering the company’s print expertise, most of these will involve extra value material from magazines, but could also be used to examine maps and real estate listings. The video after the jump says you could also watch movie trailers just by staring at a poster — assuming that you don’t mind your fellow cinema goers thinking you’re a bit odd.
