Augmented Reality - first experiences (ARToolkit)

These are the very first examples i made using "ARToolkit". First one shows a c++coded cube with some simple textures on it. The second one is a project i created in vrml, which is also compatible with ARToolkit.

More/better projects will follow. Sorry for the bad video quality, I'll fix this issue in my next vids.

To create your own AR-applications - all you need is a webcam, a printer and some CPU-power to compute the projects. Google for "ARToolkit" - this should do the trick. Maybe I can make a little tutorial if you guys are interested.

I'll blog this kind of stuff on my homepage asap:

Did you shoot this with a webcam or a camcorder hooked to your PC? The tracking is really nice.

@Nightenstaff Hey, I captured it with a webcam (logitech C500). Thanks for feedback!

how did you install ?

@t377y000 There's a nice guide on the Toolkit's homepage. Go to hitl [dot] washington [dot] edu [slash] artoolkit [slash] documentation and follow these instructions: "Setup ARToolkit"

is it complicated to create an AR project?

Hello I love this video and I got artoolkit but now I am stuck I want to make something of my own and use it with adobe flash in another window. I have an amazing graphic card and good CPU and my computer is fast I got the samples that came with it to work now I just want to learn how to make my own models. Thanks and great video!
