A Technology review was necessary to determine what program would be appropriate for the project. The criteria's include a SDK budget between $400-$1000, allow users to view augmented animations/videos via their Android or iOS based smartphones, and be Geo-location based(not symbol stimulated). The program should also be user friendly and allow for development and changes to SDK scripting.
