[marcosamadeo]

I would like to sin off topic but this seems to be one of the most active AR forums,
here is my question, does someone have the ArTag software? ive been toying with AR toolkit and wanted to see what mr. fiala had done... just curious....but regrettably you can only download some demos he made.... does anyone have the complete thing?

if you do please email me...

thanks!

Marcos.

That's not true. Had you looked a bit closer, you would have discovered a link to a download link on www.artag.net

This link is dead. I have filled all the fields and I have pressed "Accept Licence and Download Now", but unfortunately the link does not work :( .

Well in that case you should report the broken link to Mark. And if everything fails I still have a copy of ARTag as presented at ISMAR04 (rev1?) somewhere on my backups.

You may also want to look into ARToolKit Plus. It has markers inspired by ARTag and comes with source code (GPL).

I used the ancient art of URL guessing to find these URLs. They are the same as the URLs for the demos but with the word "demos" removed. :) It didn't take many guesses to find them.

I have had the same problem for some time. Using the suggestion from above (url guessing) i found these working links:

For linux download:

For mac download:
http://www.cv.iit.nrc.ca/research/ar/artag/Macdl.html

For windows download:

Hope they still work when u need em ;)

Hello everybody!

Now that there is a bunch of ARTag users here, I thought I might as well ask in this forum:

I have repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) tried to link my Visual Studio project with the ARTag library (Rev. 2c). Somehow I always end up with some conflicts between different versions of the standard C libraries (debug vs. release, single vs. multithread etc.), i.e., multiple symbol definitions and/or missing references.

Is there a special trick for linking with the ARTag library?

Thank you!

Jan

Hello, I am happy to see a number of people using my ARTag system.

I am sorry that it wasn't more easily available and people had to go to some trouble to get it. It was originally up as a download from my work (NRC Canada) but was taken down for legal/bureaucratic/logistical reasons. Months have rolled by with constant promises that it would be up soon, now they postponed again till late October. There are some good reasons for trying to make it more legally sound, etc but the effect has been that people are just getting it other ways and we have no record and I don't get any credit here at work, where I have been trying to get more resources (I just recently got my full pay back for a while after 18 months of pay less than the average student).

I'm currently aiming to try spin off my ARTag system this fall, and so there should be some way for both students/hobbyists seeking demo licenses, and actual companies to get hold of it for commercial uses too. So if you are considering it for future projects, don't throw it away just yet!

I have made several small changes and bug fixes over the year, you all probably have old versions. Unfortunately I cannot officially give it out yet.

Bye for now,
Mark

Hi Jan,

I had the same trouble when i started using Artag (Rev. 2c). In the end i found that i could compile and link with Artag if i compiled the whole project with "Single-threaded Debug (/Mld)". If you link with other libraries these should also be compiled in "/Mld".

If that does not work i can send you my project. Though its quite ugly and to run it you would need a Katana robot ;)

Cheers Jim

Hi Jim,

thank you very much for your reply! Mark already sent me a newly compiled debug mode version of the library (thank you again very much!). However, unfortunately, I still cannot link ARTag into my project because I am using Visual Studio .NET 2005. Unlike previous versions, Visual Studio .NET 2005 does not offer any single-threaded code generation options anymore. Therefore, it now reports missing libc.lib / libcd.lib when I try to build the project. (Visual Studio .NET 2005 only provides libcmt.lib and libcmtd.lib.)

I'm pleased to announce that the ARTag non-commercial official NRC downloads are back up after being offline for a long period. If you are still interested in the ARTag augmented reality software, please go to www.artag.net. The libraries now run faster, have some bugs removed, and support Windows, Linux, and Mac (email me for the Mac version). For Windows, libraries are provided for Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 6, and CSharp.

Sincerely,
Mark Fiala
