Founded in the summer of 2009, Layar quickly gained international attention as one of the first mobile augmented reality browsers to hit the market. Our open development platform attracted thousands of developers from all of the world to create AR content as millions downloaded the Layar App for iOS and Android, making Layar the world's most popular platform for AR.

Today, Layar leads the way in augmented reality and interactive print, helping to bridge the gap between the print and digital worlds. The Layar App has been downloaded over 38 million times, and the Layar Creator – a web-based, self-service interactive print creation tool introduced in 2012 – is used by over 80,000 publishers and editors.

Layar has offices in Amsterdam, New York and Toronto, and is funded by Intel Capital, Sunstone Capital and Prime Ventures.
