Outside art 3D

In fall 2009 I joined the second Layar Beta Developers Programm to work with the newly announced 3D features before they went public. I created the next-to-you layer Outside art 3D to showcase the publication of 3D models in augmented reality space. Outside art 3D lets you explore lost art installations in a new local context: they appear just right next to you, no matter where you are. The 3D models of this layer were created by Visenso, Stuttgart.

You want to host your layer on Hoppala Layerserver? Please feel free to contact me.

Germanys No. 1 yellow pages “Gelbe Seiten” for Layar

Germanys number one yellow pages “Gelbe Seiten” launched their first augmented reality service using Layar. The “Gelbe Seiten” yellow pages are published by 16 german Gelbe Seiten publishers and DeTeMedien GmbH, a subsidiary of the Deutsche Telekom Group.
The Gelbe Seiten (http://www.gelbeseiten.de) layer was developed by Hoppala, one of the layer development pioneers from Germany. Hoppala did the complete layer setup, design and development. We linked the layer to the existing Gelbe Seiten database and created additional mobile web pages for every Gelbe Seiten item to show detailed information like opening times, ratings or fotos. Hoppala can offer all these services combined. That significantly reduces communication overhead, speeds up development and makes project management very easy for our customer.
When you work closely with a brand like Gelbe Seiten, you really need to take care about every detail. Therefore we pulled together all the requirements first and created a layer concept in very close cooperation with Gelbe Seiten. Having experience with layer development for a long time now helped a lot to forsee potential pitfalls and to suggest options.
There were basically two major challenges: one was to design the layer as close to the Gelbe Seiten corporate identity as possible. And secondly we needed to hook up the Gelbe Seiten layer with the existing Gelbe Seiten database, which is a huge system. Together we pulled it off, it was great to work for Gelbe Seiten Deutschland!
