Hoppala: Augmentation tool for non tech creatives

Hoppala is a tool that I can see would start helping some edumacators make augmented reality more of a reality

Used in conjunction with Layar API, Hoopala makes it easy for the user to experiment with layers with what seems to be a super-duper easy interface.

From the press release:

HOPPALA! Augmentation comes with a full screen map interface to place and edit augments all around the world. Upload your images and icons, audio, video and 3D multimedia content with just some mouse clicks and add it to your personalized inventory in the cloud. HOPPALA! Augmentation even does the hosting for you. It simply runs in your browser, there’s no software installation required and no coding needed at all

I’ve just spent the morning with my son, 8, playing around with maps and mucking about with KML files, so I am a wee bit excited about playing around with this without having to worry about knowing how to fiddle with the API.
