Fail Whale Designer Yiying Lu Provides a First Glimpse of Layar Vision!
Ever since we released the Layar Vision Beta less than two weeks ago, we’ve been waiting patiently for real-life examples to surface. Sydney, Australia-based digital artist Yiying Lu, best known for designing what later became the famous Twitter Fail Whale, ended the wait today with her Walls 360 layer video!
Lu worked with Layar Partner Rob Manson and his third-party Layar tool BuildAR to create an interactive Augmented Reality experience that you can launch from the custom wall decals that her successful Walls 360 company makes.
A select few of these wall decals will come with pre-defined AR content that you can also add your own content to through a web-based interface.
The project got some attention from The Next Web today, so they’re off to a fantastic start. We can’t wait to try it out!
