I was looking around for a quick way to use the wonderful Reactivision<\/a> camera based marker tracking. Ideally I really wanted a fully working Reactable<\/a>, but without a projector and the music and light software and the physical elements like a glass table I cant really do what I want to do in the time I need to do it.

\nI bumped into a project from a few years ago the tangiblaptop<\/a> that was aimed at using the laptop screen rather than a projector to display the things that happen to the markers that are also placed on that surface but picked up by the camera. It looked good but I thought I needed something with a bit more variety.
\nThen I saw this Uniducial <\/a>. A small library and and couple of scripts to drop into Unity3d<\/a>.
\nWithin seconds I had objects appearing and disappearing based on the markers they could see in the camera view.
\n(I have done a few things with these before as did Roo back in the day<\/a>
\nHowever I think the unity3d gadget is going to be very useful indeed \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
