Layar adds 3d objects

"Now, instead of just seeing basic information and hyperlinks related to the places around you, you might see full 3D objects. A game of Pacman in the local park, a passenger jet flying overhead and 3D text denoting places of interest are all possibilities according to technical demos released today.

3D objects are rendered using Open GL and can be touched by users to play music or open links to other content. The new technology will be officially unveiled at the Picnic Conference in Amsterdam, which runs from tomorrow until the end of the week. The public will get their hands on the 3D AR goodness when version 3.0 of Layar launches on Android in November." (Via the NextWeb)
