Today Layar announced the news we’ve all been waiting for – image recognition!

It’s called Layar Vision and it looks fantastic. There’s no need to scan the image as Layar automatically reads the image ‘fingerprint’, which then opens up the augmented reality content.

Combine this with geo-coded markers and you’ve got one of the most powerful mobile AR systems available.
