We a;ready have idiots talking on their phones not paying attention where they are going, soon we will have idiots holding phones up in front of their faces paying even less attention to where they are going.

Garbage.

Because engadget like to ignore the facts and just say whatever gets more traffic.

Wikitude gets my support because it's been around for ages and I can use it right now.

This is useful on a more daily basis if I'm walking around the city and want to quickly find a bar or restaurant, or the nearest electronics store. It's also a fun way of looking at the search results.

You're taking it too seriously, and your tone makes you come off as huge douche.]]>Jun 18th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/
@Thomas

"You see the for sale/rent signs and you write down the web address of the agent"

WTF are you on about? You just go to Funda.nl, browse the houses and follow the link from there to the agent.

It also has Apartment Locator companies, who work for free. I think there's just a difference in services between countries that make certain services valuable or pointless. ]]>Jun 18th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 18th 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/You will be able to get movie times, or information from billboards (watch trailers, or place direct orders), menus from restaurants, check train times.... e.t.c.

the only lame thing about it is people lack of imagination.

But for finding a restaurant, bar, cinema, ATM machine and so on this looks pretty neat.

Except for the fact that google maps can already do all those things, and it should be a lot easier to actually find a place with it, then by looking at a blinking dot saying '800 meters' with a wall right in front of you.

Looks fun, but I'm not quite sure what the advantage over maps is.

It makes more sense if you are somewhere that you want more information about what is right in front of you such as realty, restaurants, bars, etc. Then, however, I don't really need to point the camera at it.]]>Jun 18th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/is that when you go looking for gardening equipment?]]>Jun 18th 2009 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 18th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 18th 2009 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 18th 2009 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 18th 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 18th 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/Jun 20th 2009 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/video-hands-on-with-sprxmobiles-layar-augmented-reality-browse/

Layar is not the first Augmented Reality Browser in the World.

Nokia Point & Find Beta was announced October 2008, and i think there are also other initiativesas already mentioned by others.
