The <a href="http://www.jqtouch.com/" title="A jQuery plugin for mobile web development">jqtouch plugin</a> for jquery is awesome by the way! If you have not had the delight of developing with it yet I highly recommend the plugin for you next mobile project.</p> <p>Anyhow back to Layar, I was asked to produce a simple Layar for one of our clients. Layar if you don't know is a cool augmented reality browser for the iPhone and Android. Other phone operating systems have been announced and its set to come pre-installed on most phones by 2012. </p> <p>Augmented reality is exploding in Europe and I really think it's the next big thing. Creating a Layar is supper easy but no tutorial seemed to exist showing how to create POI in ColdFusion so I decided to write a quick post from an asp.NET Layar I did a few weeks back.</p> <h2>Before you start...</h2> <p><b>Requirements</b></p> <ul> <li>Webserver with ColdFusion 8 or Above (JSON support needed)</li> <li>Android or iPhone 3GS or above (needs GPS and compass)</li> <li>Gmail Account</li> </ul> <p>You should know that a Layers consist of two parts:</p> <p><b>Layer definition:</b> Created using a web form on the Layar Publishing site. I will show you how to do that.<.p> <p><b>Points of Interest within a layer:</b> Fetched directly from the Layer Service Provider via the API. We will do this in CF. I will show you a quick example of this here also</p> [More] Layar ColdFusion 8 ColdFusion Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:22:00 +0100 http://www.cfcoffee.co.uk/index.cfm/2010/7/4/Creating-a-simple-Layar-with-ColdFusion-a-step-by-step-tutorial
