I have started to collect some resources about Augmented Reality tools and projects and thought the information was worth sharing.
A great blog I came across is titled Engage Their Minds and has lots of tutorials for Aurasma and other information and guidance about using Augmented Reality.
I have also been collaborating with a developer based in Bangalore, Aruna Sankaranarayanan on a project titled Look Both Ways, and we have compiled this list of projects and tools – it keeps growing!!

We would love to know about any other tools that people are using. Our preference is for FOSS and device independent tools, as our aim is to be as audience-inclusive as possible.
