This year we will attend the 2010 Mobile World Congress which will be held 15-18 February, in Barcelona Spain.
At this congress you can meet-up with our founders and head of customer development on a daily basis between 12 and 1 at la Font Magica where we will organize a small picnic.
Don’t forget to bring your own lunch since we are still a small start-up ; )
We are very proud to announce that we are pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy Portal in the UK.
Maarten Lens-FitzGerald, co-founder, Layar: “Layar is honoured to have Samsung, the worldwide #2 mobile manufacturer install the Layar browser on the home screen of this leading device. The UK is now primed to become one of the most active markets in the exciting new world of Mobile Augmented Reality. Samsung’s distribution of the Layar platform will provide developers with a compelling channel to reach an even larger audience of AR users”
For this pre-installation Samsung has created their own Layars which will be embedded into the Galaxy Portal at launch – The Samsung Hotel Search, powered by hotels.com, Samsung Local Search, powered by Qype, Samsung Train Station Search powered by thetrainline.com and the Samsung Football Pub Finder.
Nick Turner-Samuels, Head of Content, Samsung Mobile UK: “This is a great opportunity to work in one of the most innovative and exciting areas of mobile technology and with some fantastic lifestyle brands.
“This marks our first entry into the exciting world of Augmented Reality. We expect to see a lot of growth in this area in the near future.”
The Samsung Galaxy Portal will be available in the UK stores as of next Monday.
We take great pride in our product and are very serious about delivering high quality to our users and our developer community.
This is why we decided, ourselves and not Apple, to pull our application from the Appstore after the number of users reporting crashes exceeded our own quality standards.
We are currently re-engineering the app and we are aiming for resubmission to the Appstore by the end of February.
So please be patient and we are pretty sure we won’t disappoint you again.
We received a lot of questions to show all our features with some good showcases, so everybody can see what can be done with Layar, in one general presentation.
This presentation will give you a general overview of Layar, all the features and a lot of showcases which will show how you can use Layar to create an experience. So let this presentation inspire you!
If you have been inspired and you want to create a layer yourself, you can request a developer key here
If you don’t have the technical skills but a great idea please contact us.
We would love to be more in touch with our Layar Content Creators: share with you our thoughts and ideas and give you the opportunity to ask us questions and give us feedback.
