New ARToolkitPlus for Cinder Release
Just wanted to announce that I’ve updated the ARToolKit block to use much better methods for detecting and loading patterns and also integrating proper 3D positioning, as people have asked for. The newest version should be here: http://code.google.com/p/artoolkitplus-for-cinder/downloads/list

Processing Minimal Scenegraph
I’ve been thinking recently about Processing and animation. One of the really nice things about it is that it lets you build up visuals from the ground up, from fairly minimal amounts of code and basic shapes.

MakeArt2009: Day 2
Blogging from MakeArt 2009 in Poitiers, France. Tonight I’m watching presentations from IOhannes M. Zmölnig (AT), Gábor Papp & Agoston Nagy (HU), Wesley Smith (US). IOhannes’s talk was about software as “intelligent” agents, which boiled down to programming using Pd (involving visual boxes you connect by wiring together bungee-like “patch cords”) using visual objects.
