“White-label” Layar launcher, application UAR

Posted: July 16th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Apple iPhone, Camera based | Tags: , , , | Comments Off

A white-label version of the Layar application has been spotted in the wild named UAR.
As in Urban Augmented Reality .

YouTube Preview Image

It is  an application for the Dutch Architectural institute and shows information about buildings and building to be build.
http://www.nai.nl/uar is the Dutch language site.

Apple iTunes download.

[update]
It seems that this application is not a real white-label service but instead uses a “launcher” application that uses links to preload URLs into Layar.
Smart move by the UAR team, and therefore not something that Layar has made available.
