Unity3D and Vuforia
Vuforia is an Augmented Reality Software Development Kit (SDK) for mobile devices that enables the creation of Augmented Reality applications. It uses Computer Vision technology to recognize and track planar images (Image Targets) and simple 3D objects, such as boxes, in real-timeAugmented Reality tutorial using Unity3D and Vuforia
This is one of the simplest Augmented Reality tutorial using Unity3D and Vuforia. Camera is pointed to the image target, which is recognized, tracked and virtual character added on top of it.

Just wanna share some knowledge after I deliver a talk a few months ago. It was about Augmented Reality (AR) for Computer games. A brief about game art and concept and detail out the state of the ARt.
Qualcomm - the winners of its 2010 Augmented Reality Developer Challenge at Mobile World Congress. Qualcomm SDK - for the web, iPhone, iPad, PC, Mac, Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as well as Android. Qualcomm's AR SDK for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets is now available for download. This SDK will enable a new generation of AR applications that enable interactive 3D experiences to take place on everyday objects.
Current trends for games:
• Apple iPad2 is the second generation iPad for Apple with iOS 4.3 (upgradeable to iOS 4.3.1) platform. Nitro JavaScript engine / No Adobe Flash.
• The good features of Galaxy Tab is the voice and video calling and video conferencing facility, communicate through speakerphone or your Bluetooth headset. Support to Adobe Flash Flayer - platform Android 2.2
