ofxARToolKit5 focused in the ARToolKit repository

[vheun]

Hi Naus3a,
we are having a discussion for how to best join forces on an ofxARToolKit5 addon.
Your work seems to be the most complete example of all ARToolKit add-ons that are out there.

The ARToolKit folks are interested to host the addon in their official repository.
That might would help to focus all interests. There are like 3 other ARToolKit addons out there.

I thought its maybe a good idea to adapt a similar API then the https://github.com/julapy/ofxQCAR which is a widely used very complete AR addon and around for a long time. julapy found a nice balance of control and simplicity.

You can check out discussions here:

What do you think about these ideas?

Hey,
I have a few updates that I still have to upload to github, but my addon approach was mainly driven by the needs of a specific project.

It would be nice to create a clean generic API that would work for every tracking scenario (pattern, NFT, stereo). I'll join the OF forum thread and let's see what we can do.
