Layar Browser - Layar Vision

Layar Vision is an extension of the Layar platform, taking augmented reality to the next level. With the help of our industry-leading install base of 10 million devices, we’re opening the door for over 10,000 developers to create an entirely new kind of AR experience for a massive audience.

Watch the video below to see how it works.

Layar Vision allows the creation of layers and applications that recognize real world objects and display digital experiences on top of them.

• FAST: Instantaneous detection where the user doesn't need to scan an image first.
• FLEXIBLE: Add assets like 3D models, audio and video, in combination with actions like animation and sharing, to defined objects.
• VERSATILE: Combine location- and vision-based augmentations in one experience.
• EFFICIENT: Develop a layer once and be available for Android and iOS.

How does Layar Vision work?

Layar Vision uses computer vision techniques to augment objects in the physical world. It can tell which objects in the real world are augmented because the visual fingerprints of the objects are preloaded into the application based on the user’s layer selection.

When a user aims their device at an object that matches the fingerprint, Layar Vision can quickly return the associated AR experience.
