Layar lays the AR on thick with worldwide Stiktu app rollout

[![Layar lays the AR on thick with worldwide Stiktu rollout][1] ][2]

[Layar's][3] no stranger to the [AR][4] game. The company's been acting as an enabler of sorts, putting its [Player][5] and [Creator][6] dev tools into the hands of the masses across iOS and Android for some time. Now, the outfit's making Stiktu -- a social app that attaches augmented reality tags on everyday objects -- available outside of its previously defined European borders for worldwide consumption. Users who download the platform will be able to set virtual drawings, images or text to objects and leave those invisible markers behind for other curious parties to scan and discover. The practical applications aren't exactly obvious, but as a crowd-sourced scavenger hunt, it'll do just fine. Hit up the source below to download the goods on your platform of choice.
