Over the past year, the Layar community has grown fast to over 3500 developers. The developers are important links in our ecosystem. To get the most out of the Layar community, we set up the ‘Layar Partner Network’ with the first draw of our most active developers, including:

Augment Reality	United Kingdom	http://www.augmentreality.co.uk
TAB worldmedia	The Netherlands	http://www.tabworldmedia.com
Muzar	The Netherlands	http://www.muzar.org
Hpsc	France	http://www.hpsc.fr
Elipse ad	Spain	http://www.elipsead.com
SystemK	Japan	http://www.systemk.co.jp
Winvolve	Canada	http://www.winvolve.com
Signo-Geo	Spain	http://www.signo-geo.com
Tall Games	Australia	http://www.tallgames.net
MOB	Australia	http://www.mob-labs.com
Total Design and Technology	United States	http://tdandt.com
Hoppala	Germany	http://www.hoppala.eu

The Layar Partner Network is a collaboration between developers and Layar, created to share knowledge, experiences, ideas and plans. By exchanging information and skills, we learn from each other and make the Augmented Reality opportunity grow. Through monthly webinars, the members of the Layar Partner Network keep in touch, and share the latest developments in the Layar field.

Members are admitted based on the conditions of being a developer that:

• is committed, passionate and involved with Layar


• has at least 1 published layer of high quality and 1 person fully dedicated to Layar development

After the first sessions with our Partner Network members, we decided to get more dedicated developers on board. The second draft includes so far:

Lost Boys Mobile	The Netherlands	http://lbi.lostboys.nl
Fabrique	The Netherlands	http://www.fabrique.nl
Teknograd AS	Sweden	http://www.teknograd.no
mobile breadCRUMBS	Germany	http://www.mcrumbs.com
The Virtual Public Art Project	International	www.virtualpublicartproject.com
C2K	The Netherlands	http://www.c2k.nl

Emmelien Kneppers, Strategy director Lost Boys Mobile: “We’re very pleased to be able to combine forces within the Layar Partner Network, because this will create new opportunities. Our work, which by definition is based on acting from strategy and user experience, is now extended with a new channel with a lot of potential for our customers- existing and new ones.”
(Lost Boys Mobile is a full service agency in Mobile, recently founded by LBi Lost Boys and Triple IT. Their official launch will be mid-June.)

If you’re a company looking for a skilled developer to create your layers, we can recommend the members of the Layar Partner Network. If you want to know more about the program or have specific questions, please contact maurice@layar.com.
