Bringing Magazine Covers to Life with AR Video
When we launched the Layar Creator, we created LAYARED Magazine as an example of just how interactive print can become when using the Creator.
The shining star of the magazine is cover, which comes to life when you view it with Layar. We wanted to share how we created this bit of magic, so we’ve created a video showing just how it was made (including some of Raimo’s outtakes and bloopers!)
So check out the video below, it’s a great showcase for using AR video - video which displays within the AR view on top of print, not in a separate window like a YouTube video.
And don’t forget, if you want your very own copy of LAYARED Magazine to hold in your hand, you can order one now!

Layar Creator, is the easiest program I've used for adding AR to magazines. It's just what every designer wants, easy upload of multiple pages via PDF exported straight from InDesign. A drag and drop graphic interface. Publish an AR magazine within a few clicks.
This is a great start. I mean it, it's amazing.
I would love to see AR 3D models linked to any image on a page, AR video to snap to the size of the target image and not float about, on some of my pages the design bleeds off the edge of the page, the program doesn't let me place a video to fit the full width of the page it always falls a few millimetres short. I want the printed image on the page to come alive with video, & the floating/wondering unfitting AR spoils the illusion. It might be me but if the video is too long it plays directly in the device & not as an AR. it would great if you could stream any length.
Once again I salute the guys & girls for creating this wonderful tool. I know it can only go from strength to strength, I for one will be keeping a close eye on Layar Creator.
