If you are new to creating Layar layers it can be a steep learning curve to get started.
– Setting up a Layar layer can be somewhat cumbersome if you don’t know a programing language.
– When setup you most often need a programmer to update the points of interest (POI).
The above is far from true for everybody. You might have a in-house programmer who makes a perfect integration to existing content management system. But most people I have spoken with in regard to Layar development often just have a Excel sheet with addresses they want to transfer over to augmented reality.
To make the administration of a layer much more easy we have created a simple interface where our customers can update their own POI.
Take a look at the following short demo:

In the screenshot below you can see how it looks in map view inside Layar.
So with our hosted solution you have the power to administrate your own POI in a easy way.
Great solution. Where is it available?
It’s hosted for our customers. But I am tempted to put it out as open source. Just need to do initial testing before we decide.
If you have a list of POI you want to test let me know and I’ll setup a account for you.
Hi fdqps
Any news on whether or not you go for open source
Hi Nicklas,
Not much work at the moment to be able to dedicate time for doing this. I could set you up with a demo account maybe.
