Judy let us know that Layer has released a version of their Layar Reality Browser for BlackBerry 7 devices. We knew the new augmented reality capabilities in BlackBerry 7 would bring some interesting apps but I have yet to see a really compelling one so I keep trying them out. Layar takes an interesting take on AR showing 2,000+ layers overlaid on your BlackBerry screen. You can also share your experiences on Facebook and Twitter to share your layers. They claim to also have 3D objects but I have not managed to see one yet.
Check out more details at www.layar.com or download the free app in App World. Check out an explanation of the service in their video below:
