Layar: Augmented Reality Browser

Layar

A pretty cool implementation of a mapping service with additional information regarding locations. It's almost like buUuk and Foyage for the iPhone but with live view. The video explains it best.

A thought from a friend: It wouldn't be long before they come up with the ability to integrate facial recognition technology into the same environment.

My response: They call that T-800. Once facial recognition database lookup is integrated, all they need to do is put it inside an eye implant.

This could lead to some fantastic yet terrifying implementations.

 

They'll be back.

iPhone Maps now with Jakarta Street Map

Just last Sunday Google launched Google street map for Indonesia. I mentioned that it wasn't available on iPhone's Maps app yet.
 
Today it is. Maps app is finally good for something now. Choose the Hybrid view under the curl icon.
 
If you're on a Blackberry, it works too according to @irfant. Need to have Google Maps 3.02.

Google Street Maps finally in Indonesia

So this morning Google Street Maps launched in Indonesia to accompany Google Maps.
 
Street maps is a service that has been available online for quite some time from various providers such as Yahoo! and Garmin and available on devices like Nokia and Blackberry smartphones.
 
With the announcement of iPhone 3G by Telkomsel, many wondered when Google will finally join Yahoo! In providing a street directory because iPhones rely on Google Maps for its built in map application.
 
While it may have been a rather embarassing situation for the world's most prominent Internet company, They may have just been biding their time for the right moment.
 
As of now however, iPhone's Map app and Google's mobile map site are still unable to access the latest data from Google's servers.
 
Once the mobile maps are up, we can begin to anticipate black vans roaming around Indonesian streets capturing images for Google Street View.
