For assignment 3, I was wanting to get into the more technical side of augmented reality. I want to try out something called FLARToolkit to make an interactive model. The idea I have is to have a sheet of paper with several markers on it. One main marker will position the model to be animated. The other markers will be smaller and in a row, and will let the user control the state of the animation by covering or uncovering the markers.
Josh was a lot of help getting me started with FLARToolkit. Though I've got a lot of experience with programming (Basic, Python, C++, Javascript, etc), I'm new to ActionScript. Hopefully my familiarity with programming generally will help speed the learning process. Also, FLARToolkit has a lot of high-level functionality that seems to handle what I want to do. The main thing for me would be to attempt simplifying the process for myself, and perhaps generalising it to make the resulting Flash program able to have different models loaded into it while maintaining the same functionality.
As I find / figure out useful scripts, I'll post them on this blog.
Some links I was given by Josh to look at are:
3D Objects Interacting with each other (Google Groups)
Question on Multiple markers as a trigger...
Also, yay, API documentation for FLARToolkit.
Hey Stephen ive done a bit of experimenting with FLARToolkit before and managed to get the trigger marker happening........but in a movie plane format.

i could dig back to my as files and try to find you the codes if you want.
