Zillow Layar • October 13th, 2009

Zillow Layer ConceptI’ve been a little slow at coming up with application ideas. I have a few in my head, and I’m going to try to take the time this week to blog them, and hope I can catch up to my one a week pace. This one is a Zillow Layar concept.

By now, I’m sure many of you are familiar with the site called Zillow. It allows you to see what your home is worth, who else around you is selling and how much, and what the last sale price was on a home.

There is also an application for Android based phones called Layar. This is a virtual reality application. It creates overlays on top of the camera view to provide further information as to what you’re seeing.

My concept is a blend of these two applications. Using Layar, Zillow could create a layer of their information. People could walk around a neighborhood, and look through their phone’s camera to see what a house is selling for, what it’s features are, etc. For those looking into an area, this would give them a chance to stroll around and learn more about the neighborhood, while gaining valuable information about the homes around those they’re interested in.
