Hi Stefan, we don't support Layar any more so I can't provide you help with specific dev options there. But you might like to checkout the "rel" parameter on the hotspots.transform block. http://www.layar.com/documentation/browser/api/getpois-response/hotspots/#hotspots-transform
And here's a layer one of our customers created using buildAR.com that shows a 3D model of a proposed building in-situ on the physical building site. http://m.layar.com/open/buildar11516 Of course you'll need to set your browsers location to near Cecil Park, NSW, Australia to see it. Junaio also definitely support this and we'll have a range of demos that you can checkout when we launch the new version of buildAR.com in a few weeks. By default in Junaio the 3D object's orientation is fixed. The cool thing is that now we can reach into the AR scene and manipulate the objects orientation/transform using javascript from the html5 layer we put on top. This is one of the key reasons we're moving over to support Junaio as it's more in line with our broader Augmented Web strategy. NOTE: This migration meant we had to delay the release of our open source awe.js project by a few months until mid September. roBman On Sat, 25 Aug 2012 19:44:00 +0200 Stefan Keller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Rob > > Thanks very much for the answers. > > Up to now I've only seen layers with 3D objects - either like monsters > or flat images which always turn towards me, or centered around my > current position - wherever I'm located on earth.
