Hi Stefan,

 With our Nutiteq mobile maps SDK 2.0 [1] you can display 3D models on Android 
map view. It does not (yet) have AR as such, with current location and 
orientation sensor precision the map and models would be quite off-placed. And 
it is not ready application, it is an Android SDK for Map View only.

 It does not read directly plain .obj format - we use there own 
mobile-optimized format (NML, which is kind of protobuf-encoded DAE packaged in 
sqlite table). We have an offline converter from KML to NML, which does a lot 
of optimizations (prerendering/resampling for lower zooms etc), this is 
currently still work-in-progress. It is meant to show thousands of models per 
city. If you want to add just a couple of models, then in principle you could 
parse .obj and create NMLModel objects what you can add to map, without the 
converter.
