  3. FlARToolkit is the flash version of the C-coded augmented reality library known simply as ARToolkit. It was converted over by a very very skilled Japanese coder known as saqoosha. He does all kinds of crazy stuff with augmented reality and if you can read Japanese or are prepared to wade through lots of posts that barely make sense when.

HoloLens is fascinating in terms of holographic display and in-room localization, but the capability of the front-facing camera (locatable camera) is not fully utilized for potential augmented reality applications.

ARToolKit

Since ARToolKit has served AR/VR for more than 10 years, and it is open-source, it would be nice to have it running on HoloLens. The obstacles towards this goal are quite clear as well:

  • Universal Windows has a whole different set of tools and run-time libraries. The dependencies of existing ARToolKit does not exist on UWP, such as pthreads, video libraries, opencv.
  • ARToolKit is written in native C/C++ code, and an additional wrapper is needed for development on Unity, which is recommended for HoloLens. (If you are not good at Direct3D, and Windows App)

Luckily, after spending some time on this, I successfully get some pieces of code written, and actually make ARToolKit runs on HoloLens.

The repository is called HoloLensARToolKit on Github.

Demos

The following videos and screenshots are taken with HoloLensARToolKit v0.1.

There are three samples of HoloLensARToolKit, each representing a certain kind of marker that is supported: single marker, cube marker and multi marker.

This video is taken on HoloLens Device Portal, also known as Mixed Reality Capture. You might have noticed that there is still some lag between the video that is captured and update in the rendering.

You can access more articles describing the implementation details of HoloLensARToolKit in my blog, simply clicking on the tag: hololens-artoolkit.

With ARToolKit integrated with HoloLens, many more augmented reality applications are possible. If you are AR/VR developer, you must see what I mean here.
