Abstract	Augmented reality is the concept of overlaying digital information on top of the real worldview. One application that makes use of Augmented Reality is the Layar Reality Browser, which shows what is around oneself by displaying real time digital information layered on top of the real world as seen through the camera of a smartphone. Layar works by using a combination of the mobile phone’s camera, compass, and GPS data to identify user location and field of view, retrieving data based on these geo-coordinates, and overlaying that data over the camera view. In this project, the developers use the Layar technology on the CCSU campus to provide users with information regarding various buildings and their entrances, when moving around campus. In order to accomplish this, the GPS coordinates of many locations on campus were collected and stored into a database. The Layar application on the user’s smartphone displays the points of interest (POI’s) within the specified range, along with information regarding these points. This paper discusses the Layar Reality Browser, its architecture, server configurations and presents experimental results that prove its overall effectiveness. The results of a usability survey conducted on test users of this application are also presented.
