Noting the lack of activity on the ARToolKit forum in the fall of 2017 and fearing for the future of this iconic project, Ben Vaughan and Phil Lamb, the former CEO and CTO of ARToolworks, created artoolkitX to ensure that the software is developed and maintained and the vibrant ARToolKit community continues to be supported. The libary builds two WebAssembly artifacts during the build process. These are build/artoolkitwasm.js and build/artoolkitwasm.wasm. To use those, include the artoolkitwasm.js into your html page and define var artoolkitwasmurl = '/artoolkitwasm.wasm'; before loading the artoolkitwasm.js file, like this. FlARToolkit Tutorial. Looks for something more challenging? FlARToolkit is a Flash-based augmented reality toolkit based on ARToolKit. It was ported to Flash from C by saqoosha. Using it, you’ll.

1. download MikuMikuDance (mine is directx9 version) from [link]
2. to download ARToolkit_MMD, first go to [link]
3. go to this link [link] Click the obvious button, then on the next screen, click the one that says in english 'download now'
4. extract the files.
5. open the ARToolkit/Data folder, then print out the .pdf named pattSample1 on a piece of paper. for best results, you want to attach it to a hard surface.
6. back in computerland, open the ARToolkit folder, open up the .ini file named setting.
7. change the #MMDDataFolderName to where you extracted your MikuMikuDance Data folder.
8. change the PMMFileName to the path where the .pmm file you want to use is located
9. you can change the scale to get a larger or smaller scaled model.
10. save and exit the .ini file.
11. run ARToolkit_MMD.exe
12. if you have a 64 bit computer, it should be screwing up saying : msvcp71 is missing. If so, copy and paste the msvcp71 and msvcr71 .dll files in the ARToolkit folder into Windows SysWOW64 folder (not system 32). run ARToolkit_MMD.exe to confirm that its fixed.
13. a windows blackscreen appears with a window named 'Property Sheet Properties.
14. Frame rate should be as high as you can, check the flip horizontal if youre using a laptop webcam, uncheck if you somehow have your webcam attached to your head. color space, i dont really care. Output size... 640 x 480 have not been giving me problems. larger than that tends to lagg. The default 640 x 400 somehow messes some stuff up a bit
15. if you run into an error, it means some models arent loading up or you didnt change the path earlier properly. if so, open MikuMikuDance, open up that .pmm file and just delete the models it cant load.
16. if you can run it, a webcam output now appears.
17. bring your printed pattern into full view of the webcam window. The whole pattern should be visible.
18. the program detects a transformation of the pattern 'matrix' to calculate a viewing orientation.
19. the files in the .pmm file should appear, but not move just yet.
20. these buttons on your keyboard have specific functions: a - toggles opacity of the AR model. s - begins/pauses the dance routine. r - resets the dance routine
21. feel free to move the marker to different orientations to get different views of the whole thing.
22. if your .pmm file has a .wav sound file loaded, this version will play the .wav file as well, provided that its title is in a simple form (no jap, no special characters. A pure english title works best.
23. to play other .pmm files, you need to open the .ini file and change the path to where the new .pmm file you want to load is loaded.

Hey everybody,

during this rainy summer I figured, there could be the perfect moment for you to get started with augmented reality, too! You have seen the demos on youtube? You were intrigued by movie effects? But how could you try it out easily and – for now – without any skills in augmented reality or programming? Here is the answer below! Try it out! All you need is a neat webcam or even a crappy one and then try one or all of the following demos to get a first impression yourself! No movie, but all real-time in your hands!

Artoolkit

1. Transform yourself!

Go to www.weareautobots.com and install the plug-in, when asked. After some loading you will see your webcam image as a live feed in your browser and when you keep your face inside the camera, you’ll be automatically transformed into an Autobot from Transformers!

(This demos uses face recognition and tracking. Nothing else is needed besides your human looks. But that one you’ll need, since the face recognition will look for two eyeballs, one nose, etc…)

2. Fight the dragon on your desktop!

Go to www.metaio.com/design/demo and download the Unifeye Design Demo Installer (Windows only). After installing, go to the subfolder (probably:) C:Program FilesmetaioUnifeye Design DemoexamplesscenesKnights&Dragons and print the file Drache_Marker_1.jpg.

Now start the Unifeye Design Demo link on your desktop. At the bottom of the screen you will see video play controls (rwd, play, stop, fwd), right next to those you’ll have three vertically aligned buttons: click the lower one and then select your webcam on the right. You’ll see your video feed. Go to File > Open and select examples > scenes > knights&dragons > DemoScene_Knights&Dragons.scef. Now hold the printed paper into the view!

(This demo uses feature based tracking, i.e. you have to use an image as a reference. In this case this is the castle image you printed. The whole tool can do much more and you can even import your own VRML files. If you have no clue, what that means, don’t worry. Try one of the other demos, that are shipped along.)

3. Go to where it all started!

Artoolkit Tutorial For Beginners

Download the ARToolkit package from www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit/download and unpack it. If you run Windows, copy this file into the unpacked folder ARToolKitbin or download the OpenGL GLUT files from the web and copy them to your folder. Now print the file ARToolKitpatternspattHiro.pdf and start the program simpleVRML. You will see a bee buzzing above a flower – on your hand!

(This demo uses marker based tracking, i.e. you have to hold a black/white pattern into the camera’s view. This printed square will be recognised as the anchor, where the program will put the graphics. As you move around the pattern, the 3D objects will move along. This last demo ships with all the C source code. So if you are interested in learning more about augmented reality and starting to program your own application, continue reading on the ARToolkit website for tutorials or go to the Studierstube to get the ARToolkit Plus, that might be more comfortable or convenient for you. Both are free of charge.)

Of course, there are dozens of different free and more commercial systems, but for now, I only wanted to give you a brief and free impression, of what’s easily possible. Fascinated? Would you love further getting-started’s? Need help with my micro tutorial? Let me know! :-)
