“If I had a share of AOL for every time someone said the same thing about how no one would use the Web because it was too nerdy and AOL was so cool and easy, I’d have millions of shares, and they’d be worth basically nothing.”
Cory Doctorow in BoingBoing comments
Jens and i wrote the first AR demo based on WebGL and X3DOM. It uses FLARToolkit / FLARMaganger for marker tracking and renders via X3DOM. The superimposed model is a globe with NASA satellite texture with live clouds.
The Flash file for tracking and Javascript communication will be open source and available soon. There will be a compiled version with exchangeable markers, too. Thus you don’t have to touch Flash anymore.
