NEW YORK TIMES: Layar and Soundwalk

nytimes_soundwalk_blogpost

A shout out to technology writer Marshall Kirkpatrick of The New York Times, who featured Soundwalk in a recent article about Layar and Augmented Reality applications.

“Of all the Augmented Reality apps we’ve seen so far, though, Layar is the most exciting because it’s a platform. We look forward to seeing if the user experience can come close to matching the huge amount of hype this medium is getting.

The possibilities are many; New York new media agency Soundwalk is developing a mixed-reality fiction data set for Layar, for example, where users will be able to listen to a story tied to physical locations around their cities and navigate through the story by walking down the street and viewing the places they visit through their phones… “

Stay tuned as we continue to release details on our Soundwalk Mobile projects in development.

Augmented Reality Soundwalk with Layar

Soundwalk Layar

Today we have the pleasure to announce that we started working on a Soundwalk for Android phones using the Layar Reality Browser 2.0. Layar is a free application on your mobile phone which shows what is around you by displaying real time digital information on top of reality through the camera of your mobile phone.

Soundwalks mix fiction and reality in a cinematic experience giving the listener the impression of actually being in a film. The Layar Soundwalk will augment reality with additional contents to the St. Germain des Prés in Paris Soundwalk with Virginie Ledoyen and original music by Benjamin Biolay.

If you haven’t heard about the St. Germain des Prés Paris Soundwalk yet, it’s a unique experience to discover private courtyards and let you guide between poetry, bliss and discovery of the St. Germain des Prés neighborhood following the steps of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Serge Gainsbourg, Napoléon Bonaparte, Oscar Wilde, George Sand, Marguerite Duras, Godard, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Gertrude Stein, Henry Miller, Balthus, Delacroix, Danton, Marat, Picasso, Baudelaire, Camille Saint-Saëns.

Users will be able to experience the Soundwalk Layar première during Nuit Blanche in Paris on October 3, 2009.

A special preview demo will be shown during the PICNIC ‘09 from 23 to 25 September 2009 in Amsterdam.

We hope to see you there!
