I keep a list of tools here but it is a little out of date: http://www.augmentedplanet.com/resources/developer-tools/ There are lots of tools around but there are two things to consider. Cost and how much coding you want to do. Qualcomm is 100% free but the docs are pretty poor (what docs) so it has a steep learning curve. junaio/Layar are really easy with great docs but have licensing fees. Some technologies make the process easier by providing you with a Unity plugin but Unity comes at a cost. The answer will depend really on how much coding experience you have. You say you come from a graphics background so I am assuming you dont want to be writing lots of C code. I would suggest taking a look at Layar Vision, Junaio Glue, Aurasma (www.aurasma.com) and I haven't looked in great detail yet but 13Lab have some great tools to (http://13thlab.com/). They would be good starting points, but feel free to drop be a line if you have a specific project or need and I will see if I can come up with a better alternative. It sounds like I should do a post on developer tools pro/cons at some point. Currently I am in the process of writing a book on AR tools for NFT so it would be a good complement article. Hi Chris

I deliver workshops on e-learning technology. There is huge interest in the "mobile" space and I see AR as one of the key benifits to the devices available to the normal student budget these days. I see so many possible applications in education, but I also advocate cross platform compatibility and hence shy away from app development. Having a background in multimedia including 3d modelling and animation, I am taking myself with finding the easiest path to AR success for the zero budget college scenario. Any pointers re development tools would be appreciated in my quest. aR is not dead. Everything NEEDS to go through the trough of disalusionment so that it can come out of the other side as a mature technology, employed ONLY where it is of real benifit, not just employed because its new and fun.
