46. Creating layers – Terminology
Layar: The browser application
Layer: A content layer in our browser
POI: Point of Interest, element of data in the AR view (sometimes called
hotspot, or object)
AR View: The augmented reality view, with the POIs superimposed on the
camera view.
List View: A list of all POIs
Map View: POIs shown on a map
48. Creating layers
Layers are built using simple web technology
HTTP, JSON, HTML
2 step process:
Create a layer definition in the Layar publishing environment
Create a layer server for delivering the POI content to the phones
50. Creating layers – Publishing site
http://layar.com/publishing
Add all the static content of a layer
Listing details
Look & feel
Service URL
51. Creating layers – Layer service
RESTful API with a single HTTP GET call
GetPOIs Request: HTTP request with the following parameters: Latitude,
Longitude, filter settings...
GetPOIs Response: JSON data containing POI information (hotspots)
API documentation: http://layar.pbworks.com
53. Creating layers – 3rd party services
Instead of creating your own layer service, you can use one of the
community created tools, e.g.:
Porpoise
Open source server software created by Jens
Hoppala Augmentation
Hosted solution, easy to use.
