Kickstarterは新しい方法と野心的な努力を創造的なアイデアに資金を提供することを目的としたサイトのようだ。下記、"The Civil War"をARで実現するプロジェクトに対して出資することが出来る。
The Civil War Augmented Reality Project was conceived by several public educators with technology experience and a desire to offer more interactivity to students and the general public visiting historic sites. The objective of the project is to develop and implement augmented reality services related to the American Civil War in Pennsylvania, and to modify soon to be released tablet personal computers to allow the general public a chance to experience the applications. The project's inception is planned to give ample development time in the run up to the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, beginning in 2011. It is hoped that early support could generate interest in Maryland and Virginia.

Audi のカレンダーを飾り、それをiPhoneのカメラで覗くと景色の中には印刷されていないAudiが現れ、アニメーションするというもの。各ページ（シーン）で表示される車種を変えている点が良い。カレンダーでARを採用した例は初めて見た。見る度に新しい楽しみ方ができると尚良いだろう。

The campaign was extended with an online feature, so that those who couldn't make it or wanted to share the experience with others were able to do so. The results of the challenge will be revealed in the first episode of The Gadget Show's new series on Monday August 2nd 2010.

UK real estate startup Zoopla has launched an iPhone app which rather puts the competition in the shade with an Augmented Reality option. Main competitors Rightmove and Findaproperty have apps, but all they do is For Sale and To Rent searches. Zoopla by contrast offers all the data its has on every UK home with a number of features you won’t find in the average app. The app has map-led search (map and hybrid options) as well as list view and Augmented Reality (3GS or 4 only).
