9. Non uniform scale
We now allow a non-uniform scale in the
transform specification. This is represented as a
dictionary with the scales factors for the "x", "y"
and "z" axis.
Example:
"scale":{ "x": 2.0, "y": 1.0, "z": 3.0 }

10. User location anchor
The geo POI anchor element has been
extended in order to support POIs tied to user
location. This feature is useful in case of
experience domes.
Example:
"anchor": { "geolocation": "user" }

12. Reference image linking
● Make it easier for the Layar to track reference images at
various zoom ranges
● Attach augments to a 3D object that consists of multiple
planar surfaces
