this one sucks in my opinion.
It use a webview for an HTML5 app.
HTML5 app sucks for many reasons. Performance is one of them.
I would stay away from it.

That is something I didn't notice at first glance. HTML5 isn't my first choice, and offline capability is a must. 

Reading seems like Metaio http://www.metaio.com/ is the most complete
(cross platform) Augmented Reality framework.
But you can't develop for it on Linux which makes no sense at all in my
opinion.

It does seem very well featured, and may do more than I need. 

It's also pricey at $5490 per app. The ideas I had in mind may not bring a big ROI at that cost. But I'll look at it some more. Thanks.

In my company we use Vuforia
http://www.qualcomm.com/solutions/augmented-reality for natural features
and markers tracking.

Thanks. I might try it if I were going the computer vision route.
