Fietsknooppunten in Layar

I have created a small layer for the Layar augmented reality browser for mobile devices. It shows all known fietsknooppunten in Flanders.

I have implemented this layer as a Java application deployed on the Google App Engine. It consists of two parts.

  1. A daily cron job downloads a CSV database from Fietsnet (with permission) and stores all entries in the object store.
  2. A servlet responds to requests from the Layar application on the mobile device and returns a JSON response with relevant POIs.

Layar is available for free for Android and iPhone.

Hallo Litrik, very nice!

Hallo Litrik,

very nice! Spijtig genoeg kan ik het (nog) niet live testen ... en niet omdat ik niet fiets ;-)

Geweldig praktische toepassing van state of the art (cloud) technology. Draai je die toepassing in de free versie van GAE? Of heb je een premium subscription?

Sorry I am not a layar

Sorry I am not a layar expert. Hoe do I use this? I tried searching in layar for fietsknooppunten and fietsnet but got no matches. Can someone enlighten me?
