Do you know what the Creative Applications Network is? Do you know what Processing is? I’ve written about projects done in the open-source DaVinci code-esque software called Processing on JOL, and here is another amazing project using that suite. Check out this video:
The Creative Applications Network has put out a tutorial on this type of augmented reality presentation, and it’s pretty awesome!
About the video and the project you’re about to visit:
All of the visuals in the above video were created using NyArtoolkit for Processing. NyARToolkit is an augmented reality toolkit built with 100% pure Java. It is derived from ARToolkit-2.72.1. Like Processing itself it’s open source and free! In this tutorial you will learn how to use it to place computer generated imagery correctly onto real world footage. To do this in real-time NyArtoolkit uses markers — black and white images — to determine the three-dimensional position and orientation in the real world. Most likely you will have seen something like this before, but now you will learn how to do it yourself using freely available software.
Thanks, VJ.TV!
