Want to create a Layar layer with a PHP backend?
So you have seen the cool augmented reality applications for iPhone and Andriod! Now you want to make use of this technology in your project. With the Layar application you are not far from that goal.
The Layar API is pretty straight forward but this post might get you up to speed even faster.
The backend we are going to build is based on MySQL and on PHP ver. 5.2. If you don’t have 5.2 you can build the JSON manually.
Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.
