iOS augmented reality library with simple "events" system

I'm looking for an iOS augmented reality library that will enable me to track a marker and either

  1. Show the user a video (local or YouTube, full screen or mapped to the marker).
  2. Load a regular old fashion view controller with my own code in it (like a UITableViewController).

I've been looking around and all augmented libraries I've seen seem overly complex (for what I want to do).

Do you know of any lightweight library that will allow me to do this? Paid libraries are not a problem.

This is what I've looked at:

  • Vuforia
  • String
  • Popcode
  • Metaio
  • 3DAR
  • Mixare

Thanks!

PD: I don't know how to program with Unity and a few of what look like the most promising libraries use this so those are not an option for me. I'd prefer straight up Objective-C inside XCode.

Vuforia now has a video solution included with their Unity SDK if you are able to use Unity. http://u3d.as/content/qualcomm-inc-/vuforia-video-playback/36v
