    I love it!

    1 wish:
    Could you please also add the google translation in the layar? I lost myself in Dutch signage system. I wish this layer could help translate the Dutch word captured by the phone into English words.([image] >OCR> [text] >google translate> [English])

    Many thanks!

    Wow! Wat een gaaf programma!

    Ik zou dit programma ook graag op mijn Samsung i8910 HD willen hebben (deze telefoon heeft ook een kompas,gps en camera)!

    Bedankt!

    Questions
    - does it use GPS, hotspot data, compass and/or wireless transmitter data?
    - can it create complex shaped icons in the field of vision
    - can the device be tweaked to run on two adjacent screens depicting a slightly (about 10 centimeters) seperated image (as in- potentially stereoscopic)
    - how fast does it refresh? Does the image lag or do the icons drift much?
    - does the “browser” have access to a scripting language, and if so could I use layar layers to create AR games and “specialized interactivity”?
    - Could I glue features of other 3D environments or software (3DS, Sketchup, Google Earth) into this browser environment? Could I run “encased” scripts from online sources in layar? Could I stream video or a website from a shape depicted in layar?

    Please let me know. I wanna get moving with this yesterday.

    @khanea

    GPS, COMPASS AND CELL-ID

    - can it create complex shaped icons in the field of vision

    YES. WE ARE LOOKING INTO OPEN GL. CURRENTLY THESE ARE ANIMATIONS(2D)

    - can the device be tweaked to run on two adjacent screens depicting a slightly (about 10 centimeters) seperated image (as in- potentially stereoscopic)

    YOU WOULD NEED TWO CAMERA’S TO CREATE THIS. YOU WOULD NEED SOME KIND OF INTELLIGENCE TELLING YOU WHICH VIEW IS LEFT AND WHICH IS RIGHT.. 3D???

    - how fast does it refresh? Does the image lag or do the icons drift much?
    COMPASS IS VERY SENSITIVE AND RESPONDS QUICKLY TO CHANGES

    - does the “browser” have access to a scripting language, and if so could I use layar layers to create AR games and “specialized interactivity”?
    THAT IS JUST TO FAR IN THE FUTURE FOR NOW.. ;-)

    - Could I glue features of other 3D environments or software (3DS, Sketchup, Google Earth) into this browser environment? Could I run “encased” scripts from online sources in layar? Could I stream video or a website from a shape depicted in layar?

    DONT UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTIONS COMPLETELY

    Very futuristic initiative guys!

    Keep on the good word, and just keep on developping(also for WinMo 6.1-6.5/7 pls!)

    Would be great to run this program on my HTC Touch HD in future!

    All the best!

    Great application and great idea to develop it for mobile phone!
    Just imagine this augmented reality browser replacing the Streetview in Google maps application while utilizing all available google earth layers….
