User reviews and comments
Vuforia is sufficiently specific and the product is no longer owned or developed by Qualcomm.
Website Gone
Project Aura
This is now, the company's name.
Alvar in not for iOS
The company name was changed in August 2013. If you go to the website, you will see redirection.
This + Toolbox for 3D tracking is awesome!
Extremely lightweight, fast, angle-robust; connects quickly and easily to Unity. Imperfect rating solely due to necessity of having black border around marker.
