Layar



Layar is implementing augmented reality for the masses.  Point your phone camera at something using this small piece of software, and it will start to put digital layers of information on top of your camera image.  Look at a house for sale and you can view its past sales history, current rates and real-estate agent details.  Imagine a world in which you point your camera or iPad at a pump in a water treatment plant and you see layers of information relating to maintenance and service history. 

Huge implications and opportunities for engineering.
