Layer venturing into the third dimension come November

One of the coolest Android apps available currently available hands down is that of Layar. This seemingly average socially “aware” augmented reality browser displays real time info about various places using your phone’s camera, GPS, compass, etc. isn’t sitting still in terms of development and advancement. Come November, this nifty little app will be making a mighty large move into the third dimension. As you can see from the photo above, the possibilities and doors that can be heard opening in your head are quite expansive and large. The addition of 3D text and images is huge even though the initial examples such as the plane above are rather crude. Don’t discount this app or the team behind it though. A big shift in socially aware AR apps is coming and I can’t wait. Currently, developers of all walks are being encouraged to delve into Layer and it’s upcoming 3D feature as to expand the apps potential and functionality. The new 3D feature is reported to be coming to end users this November. I’m definitely on edge….November can’t come soon enough.

If you so choose (and I highly suggest you do so), a video inside gives you a quick demo of the 3D goodness.
