There's a lot of buzz around Augmented Reality at the moment so I thought I'd mock up a quick example using Flash. The example on this page was very quick to put together thanks to the FLARToolKit from
saqoosha.net, in this example I also use
Papervision3D. You'll need a couple of things to view the example:
- A printer to download and print this pattern, flarlogo-marker.pdf
- A webcam
- Flash Player 10
Click "Allow" in the Flash movie below so it can access you're webcam, print the pattern and hold it up to the screen. You should see Ceri and Baloo about to launch a rocket. As you can imagine this could have plenty of applications and I'll add a more exciting example soon.
