Save yourself the pain of developing, maintaining, and scaling your own Augmented Reality Point-of-Interest search in the Cloud. You and your users bring in the data...and NakdReality provides the instant gratification! Using our flexible API, we output your information onto Layar's AR browser, our location browser, and your own website, to powerfully present your data with the NakdReality search engine that is right for you and your users.

Hand sketching is used here as a natural way for creating Augmented Reality mechanical experiments. The user can sketch experiments and watch them simulated in 3D. The user interacts with the system by creating, modifying, and presenting sketches to the camera.

Lets you quickly and easily add your own information overlays to create your own AR Application. Each piece of information added to a specific location is called a Point Of Interest (POI). A collection of POIs is called a Layer. buildAR provides you with a web-based tool to add, search and manage your own Layers and POIs.
