Layar is probably the best known startup in the area of augmented reality. Their augmented reality browser has been getting lots of attention on blogs and conferences about mobile. But it’s not only press attention, they are building a strong collection of Layars, connecting a great amount of information with the reality through your phone’s camera. A while ago Layar released SARA, the augmented reality application of the Netherlands Architecture Institute, that showed 3D models of buildings yet to be build. And now the technology of Layar serves an even greater purpose, if you are a sports fan.
The digital department of Dutch football club PSV Eindhoven has used the technology by Layar to develop a great proof of concept for an application that let’s you check if a player is on or offside while watching the match in the stadium. In the clip below you can see a demonstration video.
