Augmented Reality Demonstrations (August 2010)

This collection of videos portrays experiments with the ARToolkit, in the summer of 2010. Our project experimented with the free version of the ARToolkit on windows, linux, and mac laptops. We developed several building blocks for interactive AR, such as a module that allows an end user to transfer a graphical object from one fiducial marker to another by placing the markers in proximity with each other. This is a model for scenarios in which students interact with virtual artifacts with virtual tools. E.g., they can use a virtual trowel (that is represented in 3D graphics when the camera recognizes its fiducial marker) to "pick up" a virtual object when the trowel is sufficiently near the object. Video files accompany the note.
