Published last year, but I never came around watching it then. Youtube biz blog and Google Operating System brought it back to my attention.

Layar, generic augmented reality browser
June 19th, 2009 — Watched
Possibilities are mindboggling. This (type of) interface can become as widespread as Google Maps.
Excerpt from Twitter Conversation (in Dutch, reverse chronological order):
davied: @Ramon1974 @pascalvanhecke Leuk idee, Open Overheid en Augmented Reality. Eens wat ideeen verzamelen en in blog zetten?
Ramon1974: @pascalvanhecke Dat weet @ClaireBoo vast wel. Succes #layar hangt af van makkelijk te koppelen gegevens zoals bij Google Maps denk ik
Rhymo: @pascalvanhecke we zijn aan het kijken naar kml, georss, etc
pascalvanhecke: @Ramon1974 idd – kan publicatieplatform worden. Vraag me af een een "gewone" kml file (zoals op Google maps), al kan dienen als #Layar
ClaireBoo: @Ramon1974 @pascalvanhecke elke set coordinaat-gegevens kan worden ontsloten op Layar. Dus overheidsinfo zeker interessant! Laat maar weten.
bertheymans: @pascalvanhecke I’m really wondering what’s needed for this kind of thing to catch mainstream http://layar.eu
Ramon1974: @pascalvanhecke Layar nodigt uit om ook #openoverheid data toe te voegen. We moeten eens iets verzinnen voor www.datzouhandigzijn.nl
pascalvanhecke: Impressed by http://layar.eu generic "augmented reality browser" Already available: immo data (Funda), ATMs, jobs, places to go out…

Few of the examples are actually convincing and some are a bit ludicrous, yet you can imagine people build be really useful applications – especially for disabled, eldery people or kids for whom the interfaces whe have now are too complicated… Oh, and to be fair, here’s a similar (somewhat less appealing though) video for Tikitag – now known as Touchatag:
