ARcadia

Picture
ARcadia is a toolkit for bringing paper prototypes to life through the use of marker-based Augmented Reality. It enables users to create tangible interfaces for real-time creative expression without the use of embedded sensors or electronics.

Users can construct interfaces using cardboard, paper, and other craft materials and stick fiducial markers on it to enable tracking via a webcam. Users can then program different mappings between markers and events to add interactivity to their projects. After the crafting and programming phase, a user can play with their interface live -- meaning their interactions with the interface will cause events to occur in real-time.


Examples of possible projects include drum machines, pianos, games, etc with only using cardboard, fiducial markers, and a camera.
