ARToolkit

Virtual reality is invading the real world! Oh noes~~!!!



This baby right here is the future of the entertainment business folks!



This is made possible by the use of an application called ARToolkit. The application is free to download and use. For more information about ARToolkit and to download the application please visit the official website at http://www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit.

Unfortunately, these virtual objects can only be seen on a computer or with the use of a special head set display like the one the woman is using in the picture below.

I mean come on, how cool is it to have your favorite card game battle come to life?



Or even a private concert in your very own room?



Not to mention being able to interact with virtual objects?











Ugh...I really need to get a web cam so that I can get started fooling around with this stuff.
Again, you can get information about ARToolkit as well as the application itself at http://www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit/
