ARToolKit

Many of you have probably already heard of the ARToolKit, but do you know what the source of the augmented reality software library is?  Enter HITLab and the SharedSpace project.

HITLab is a multifunctional research laboratory focused on Human Interface Technology.  SharedSpace is just one of the many projects that HITLab has pursued over the years.  And, the ARToolKit is a product of the project.

Today, many of the gimmicky uses of augmented reality use  toolkits like this.   Thank goodness HITLab gave us ARToolKit.

You can find more about the toolkit and its uses at HITLab’s page dedicated to its promotion here.
