At AugmentPro.com we want to highlight the latest and greatest news and applications of augmented reality for the marketing professional. Lately, I have been speaking to a few of my colleagues in this space and they have all requested to know more about how building augmented reality applications is actually possible so they can begin to educate their development folks with some starting points.

I think it is a great idea to share a few basic “how to” videos on how to create an augmented reality sandbox application for your internal or external development teams. A few great tutorials are being made available by some talented folks.
