Making The Smart Phone Even Smarter!!!

The creative minds at Layar had already created a augmented-reality browser, but now they have decided to add a visual search to its features. All you have to do is point your phone's camera at an object in the real world and a specific digital activity will occur.

Your probably asking yourself what is a specific digital activity? Well ShiNigglers I will be glad to explain this phenomenon in better detail so you don't leave here confused. If you were to point your phone at a pair of your friend's new shoes, and a buy button may pop up. If your looking at some historic monument and might want some more information just point your phone at it and a video will start to play. In the video below you see a person reading a magazine and he uses the program to on the article, giving him the option to share it on social media.

Layar's augmented-reality browser will be available within the upcoming months for both iPhone and Android phones. If you don't have either, then you don't have a smart phone; NO BlackBerrys don't count.
