Just Launched: OARN.net

OARN.net is a collaboration of universities, private-sector developers, cultural agencies, trade associations, local government and business generators dedicated to building and expanding the Augmented Reality Applications sector.

So, we built a completely custom designed WordPress website that featured events management, news with YouTube and Vimeo video integration, and a custom member and project directory.
