What is Layar?

Layar is an amazing mobile phone application for Android and iPhone. It uses Augmented Reality to show content nearby the user of the phone. If you don't know what Layar is, the best explanation would be to watch this short movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b64_16K2e08. For more information about Layar, visit www.layar.com.

What does this script do?

The Layar Integration script helps you to convert Resources articles into Layar content. It is a so-called POI-server (Points of Interest) that tells Layar about Resources articles nearby the user. It takes the longitude and latitude that are created by the address field of the article for knowing a POI. Then it returns information from other Resources fields to layar and that is shown on the mobile phone. You can also include an image.

How to make it work?
In general, the following steps are an indication of what steps to follow to make your Layar work.

1. Upload the scripts at your site
2. Create a developer account at Layar and configure your Layar
3. Make your Layar work by adjusting the parameters in the script and testing the output on the Layar test site
4. Publish your layar through the Layar developer site

How much programming knowledge is needed?

Layar has a good and well-documented API, but you will need to read a bit about it in order to understand how it works. PHP knowledge is needed in order to make this script actually work at your own site. Also you should be able to adjust the SQL query a little bit to use the right Resources Field ID's etcetera. How much knowledge is needed? I would say that with average PHP knowledge you should be able to make it work, however when problems occur you will need to have good knowledge of PHP. However this is only an indication and no guarantee.

Support

Note that when you buy this, you only buy a script as-it-is and not a product or service. It will save you lots of hours of creating your own POI-server, but in the end you do have to manually make the adjustments that are necessary to make this script work at your site. So there is no support! Therefore it is strongly recommended to ONLY purchase this script if you have the necessary PHP knowledge to implement it. Also, just purchasing and installing this script won't be all you need to do to get your mobile phone app going. You also need to create an account at Layar and configure the API there (although that's quite easy and well-documented).

Price

Price of the scripts is € 40,-.
