openAR – Open Augmented Reality

SAP has talked about a proof of concept about AR a while back.
The application is called Augmented Explorer [Prototype].

The prototype was developed using the Layar application.
But from the new screenshots

I can’t find a Layar reference anymore. [link]
It seems to be working on iPad/iPhone, hope to see more of it soon.
