iPhone hacker Chris Hughes demos an open source software project that makes creating "augmented reality" a cinch. He shows how a virtual object (like a 3D spaceship), in cahoots with live footage, can interact with the real world right through a web browser. In comments on this video it appears to be a standard implementation of Papervision3D and FLARToolkit, for which tutorials can be found online. Papervision3D and FLARToolkit are open source projects. This means that urls, credit and a clear explanation of what you did with the software should be given. It's work done by 2 software team's hundreds hours .....read more »
