What is Layar?
Do you love to use QR codes? Layar is an application that will make you think QR codes should be retired. Have you ever looked at a picture and wondered if your students will see and think about the deeper meaning? With Layar you can create the path that you want your students to follow, rather than just ponder what they are supposed to understand. Layar is an app that brings print to life!
Layar is often referred to as an Augmented Reality technology. "Augmented reality (AR) is cutting-edge technology that allows for a digitally enhanced view of the real world, connecting you with more meaningful content in your everyday life. With the camera and sensors in a smartphone or tablet, AR adds layers of digital information – videos, photos, sounds – directly on top of items in the world around us." (layar.com)

"Children can now hold LEGO packaging up to the DIGITAL BOX and watch a 3D animation of the product, from any angle and in every detail - all in their hands. The technology not only creates a fascinating technical experience, but also gives retailers a unique selling pitch while helping to inform interested customers." ~Mataio AR Application Developer
