SPRXmobile , the startup behind Layar , the mobile augmented reality browser for Android, is moving fast. Barely three weeks after launching its application too much fanfare (see my video interview with the company’s co-founder Raimo van der Klein for more context), it is opening up its platform by handing out keys for its just launched API to a select number of developers. Interested parties will need to fill out a request form, which should be available in about half an hour following this link , and the company will subsequently handpick 50 developers and provide them with the necessary documentation, tools and a test environment for third-party layers. Layar is far from the only player in the mobile AR browser market, which is shaping up to be an interesting field as devices and the operating systems they run see technological advances at an ever-increasing speed.
