AS3 Augmented Reality in Flash and Papervision 3D and FLARToolKit

Augmented reality is a very cool technology.  It is the star wars holograms that we always want, it is playing a game that maps out the physical world mixed with virtual assets, it is straight up cool.

The FLARToolKit is doing some of this cool in Flash.  This little toolkit is pretty sweet mapping points and sets of points to patterns, colors or other visual queues that technology can latch onto.  Combine this with a webcam and you have some pretty cool AR.

Found via today and tomorrow:

I’ve been following the development of FLARToolKit for some time now and it’s getting more interesting day by day. What it is? FLARToolKit is a Flash Actionscript port of ARToolKit, a software library for building Augmented Reality applications. Huh? Maybe you’ve seen some really cool Augmented Reality videos before. The FLARToolKit will bring all of this to your webbrowser when you have a webcam and a recent Flash Player.

This is one of the most exciting Flash things I’ve seen for a while now. Saqoosha, a Japanese Flash developer, made this little demo: Desktop Fireworks. You will need a the Flash Player 9, a webcam and you’ll need to print out this marker. I’ve already did some tests together with Papervision3D and I can say we’ll probably see more of this soon. This is Flash at it’s best baby!

  1. Yeah I heard about this last week. I posted some other examples on my blog and Saqoosha also has another more basic example you can test out too. There’s also a link to the SVN on my blog from where you can download FLARToolkit.

    See what will be interesting now that Alchemy is out (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/alchemy/) is how many different Augmented Reality engines will be ported to AS3.

    I’d like to see this one ported out, it seems pretty solid:

  8. If anyone is interested I’ve been checking out FlarToolkit a bit more. So I’ve written a small post about how to get started and some gotchas when it comes to FlarToolkit.
