Friday 30th Jan:
Today Shu and myself decided to explore what is out there in the world of AR. After searching the internet for hours and hours it quite surprising to find that AR has been quite freely available to develop in terms of code reading libraries for a number of years now.
ARtoolkit
ARtoolkitplus
ARtag
to name a few.
Found an interesting flash port of the ARtoolkit called FLARtoolkit... at www.boffswana.com there is a cool little flash AR example you can check out, as i did...
http://www.boffswana.com/news/?p=392Also found an amazing piece of very stable software called BuildAR, which allows you to create your own AR by importing .obj files... which after looking for a plugin on solidworks allowed us to export 3d images.
Here's our first experience:
Here is a simple cube augmented on a cybercode, which is the default image from BuildAR.
BuildAR is found at http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/BuildAR
Also ordered some books from amazon.co.uk
Spatial Augmented Reality: A Modern Approach to Augmented Reality (1 week delivery)
Augmented Reality: A Practical Guide: The Complete Guide to Understanding and Using Augmented Reality Technology (4 days delivery)

I've been playing with buildar and creating 3d models in google sketchup and works a treat, just save as 3ds and then add that ads the model to the glyph and yor done:)
Trying to find a way to port to flash now so I can publish online:)
