I have you seen Project Natale? Do a search for Natale xbox here on youtube and check it out. There's varying opinions on how close this really is to market, but it's looking like some very interesting ideas are on their way.

Hi! We're using a two year old Logitech webcam, nothing fancy. And the computer we're recording on is a two and a half year old Mac. What computer are you using?

Rob,

im using a dell xps1530 4gb ram, 256mb video, 2.5ghz and an integrated camera 2.0 megapixel... do u think that is a camera problem ? im trying to find a tracking motion camera...

Honestly, I'm more suspicious that it's a PC vs Mac problem, but since I've never tried to record my augmented reality stuff on a PC I'm just guessing.

I just looked it up, and the camera we're using costs about a hundred bucks, it's a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 coming in through a USB connection. You might want to buy one of those and see if it works any better for you, most stores will let you return it if it's not suitable for your needs.

Good luck!

It is encouraging that more and more people today are validating the search for ulterior constructs of reality through the use of psychedelics. Psychonauts labor under a heavy restriction, prejudice and skepticism from the general population, and its exciting to see more people coming to the conclusion that psychedelics do have legitimate uses in the spiritual and scientific fields. So cheers to the psychonauts AND the theoretical physicists! Keep up the good work Mr. Bryanton!
