With the growing number of augmented reality content it is getting harder to find exactly what you are looking for. Hence Layar unveiled Layar Stream, making it easier for users to search for and discover augmented reality content.
The new service generates a stream out of the 1.2 million augmented objects served daily by Layar, ranking them based on a number of factors — including location, usage and popularity. Moreover, Layar Stream holds information about the type of available content and whether it contains 3D objects, images, video and/or audio. Users can optimize their stream by filtering on keywords, categories and distance.
The Layar Stream is viewable without having to hold the phone up and moving it around, enabling easy discovery of what is around you in everyday situations.
At present, Layar is inviting all of its publishers to have their AR content indexed by Layar Stream. The service itself will be available in the next release of the Layar Reality Browser, to be launched later this month on Android with iPhone following soon after.
