Hi everyone,
As a personal project for my school I have been working on using an augmented reality toolkit (ARToolkit) with DarkGDK.
I think it could interest some people so I give you my code and the report I made that explain how it works.

After many tests it seems that the calibration is not perfect so I might have done some mistake if there are people interested in getting it perfect they are welcome

You can use it as you want, the only thing I ask you is to put me in the credits of your project if you use it, and over all, to let me know in this page if you made any project with it because I am very interested in what people will do with it

I hope that you will enjoy it and add (and share) your own improvements

Note: the shadow part is not working perfectly yet, there is still some work to do here, as well as for camera positioning, and there is a small orientation problem with object positioning in some cases

EDIT : I noticed that I didn't put the right version of my report, see two posts down to get the good one

Please, correct my english

Thank you!
By the way I noticed that I didn't put the good version of the report so here is the good one.

Features are:
- Multiple marker detection
- Object positioning on markers
- Camera positioning (calibration problem)
- 3D sounds positioning
- Glass effect
- Realtime shadow (needs improvement)

Please, correct my english

Yes, by that I mean that I used an existing library (ARToolKit) for marker detection and transformation computation, and that I used DarkGDK for DirectX support.The thing is that the ARToolKit is originaly built to support OpenGL, so there was some work too do to make it compatible with DarkGDK

This is awesome! You realise what this can do? At a minimum, you could use it to track movement in the real world like "Kinect". Make it stereoscopic and you have you own 3D lab! You could make game characters move the way you want(and more fluidly) instead of having to animate key frames in something like 3DSMax....

The fastest code is the code never written.

Well it is very interesting...
I think you should make a stable version as an add on and make some money from selling it..

Incredible. Really, great. Do you see the possibilites?
You could make this commercial & when somebody purchases it, they also
get an image set containing all the numbers you've used. Then he prints them how much times he wants,
and he creates scenery from it!

Going one step further, he could place warriors which could fight when
near eachother.

Simply amazing.

Thank you for all your comments.
Unfortunatly I don't have time to make this commercial and that's why I gave the full source code so that people can use it and improve it.
In the report I wrote everything is explained, you can even create your own markers.
I thought of making a game because yes one market could be a soldier and they could all fight on your desk...

I hope that some people on that forum will make a nice use of it!
