Apperantly the guys from Mobilizy are getting the assistance of the chamber of commerce in Austria (Wirtschaftskammer) to go to Silicon Valley.
Check the source article more…..
Martin Lechner lead developer of “Mobilizy” sees this as a springboard into the American market, “because, of course, Silicon Valley still for software companies is the measure of all things. And the closer the Silicon Valley, the easier it is doing as a company and potential customers attract investors to shore. “

1. WIKITUDE World Browser – The original mobile AR browser and travel guide.

A tweet from the Wikitude team has come to my attention about the Wimbledon IBM Seer application. The application has been developed by Ogilvy and Mobilizy.
Have a look:
Yesterday at the terras we did some layar testing.
We where looking at a Android HTC magic phone with the Layar application installed in the Netherlands.
Real world layar (c) @marcfonteijn
My first findings are that the application could use some tweaking to optimize performance. The sliders to shorten the radar view are unworkable IMO.
But to conclude the findings, I don’t realy find it usefull as for a bussiness case but it sure is loads of fun.
To find an ATM because layar tells me that it is the clossest in birdflight perpective is not that handy in the real world if there is a channel (water) in between it.
The Hyves.nl point of info stuff is very handy. The yellowpages could also be good if you could pick the type of bussiness.
Jobs: I personly find this useless. It doesn’t tell me anything about the fact that the job is interesting for me. I don’t want to see an opening for a cleaning lady. This layar is more a campagne branding thing for the job company.
It would be best if there is a AR directory on which one can select a layer of intrest and use that in there desired application/AR browser. The App-store of layers if you wil!
