ARToolKit is the world’s most popular library for augmented reality application development. With a ten-year development pedigree, an active community edition with thousands of users, and ongoing development incorporating the latest results of augmented reality research, ARToolKit is the smart developers choice. - derek munneke

The ARToolKit Library is available for download for the Windows, Linux, SGI and MacOS X operating systems. Please follow the download and quick installation instructions for the relevant operating system below.The basic requirements are full described on this page. ARToolKit can be downloaded either with just OpenGL graphics support, or with the OpenVRML renderer. Choosing the VRML download will allow you to load and view VRML 97/2.0 models and animations. - derek munneke

Studierstube Tracker is a computer vision library for detection and pose estimation of 2D fiducial markers. It is a successor to the well known ARToolKitPlus library. Its concept is very similar to that of ARToolKit (ARTK), ARToolKitPlus (ARTK+) and ARTag, but its code base is completely different. Studierstube Tracker has been written from scratch with high performance for PCs as well as mobile phones in mind. - derek munneke

NyARToolkit is ARToolkit? class library derived from ARToolkit?-2.72.1. NyARToolkit supports major virtual machine platforms, Java / Android / C# / ActionScript3*1/C++ - derek munneke

What is FLARToolKit AS3 ported version of ARToolKit. Actually, FLARToolKit is based on NyARToolkit, Java ported version of ARToolKit. FLARToolKit recognize the marker from input image. and calculate its orientation and position in 3D world. You should draw 3D graphics by your own. But helper classes for major flash 3D engines (Papervision3D, Away3D, Sandy, Alternativa3D) are included. Papervision3D is used in starter-kit. - derek munneke

Over the last year, some "augmented reality browser" applications have been popping up, specially on the Android platform. While the concept is not new (research on the proper field of Augmented Reality dates back to the '90s), many current devices are starting to feature the necessary functionality in terms of hardware. Unfortunately there is no mention so far of any similar application* on Symbian smartphones, so this project aims to fill the gap by providing a prototype application featuring the use of sensors, camera and location based services. - derek munneke

This article has two objectives: to be a "how-to" guide for creating an MP3 track that can loop gaplessly, and to give the details of how it works. The first section is pragmatic: it simply tells you what you need and how to use it. If you are more interested in knowing how the ready-made software performs the trick, you will find the answers in the second part of this article. - derek munneke

BlueCove is a Java library for Bluetooth (JSR-82 implementation) that currently interfaces with the Mac OS X, WIDCOMM, BlueSoleil and Microsoft Bluetooth stack found in Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista and WIDCOMM and Microsoft Bluetooth stack on Windows Mobile. - derek munneke

ElectricBlue is a JSR-82 compliant Java Bluetooth Stack Implementation over Windows. The features of ElectricBlue are given below JSR-82 Compliant ElectricBlue is a 100% JSR-82 compliant stack, implementing the complete JSR-82 specification. J2SE Ready Java Bluetooth Stack ElectricBlue can be used to create application on J2SE without any need of additional libraries such as GCF. Runs over Microsoft Stack ElectricBlue uses the native Microsoft stack, and hence can be run on any Windows XP/Vista that has the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack Installed. (Usually this is included by default for all XP/Vista) Fastest JSR-82 ElectricBlue is the fastest JSR-82 stack available with the smallest memory foot print. - derek munneke
