6. ARToolKit --- Link physical models to computer
PyARTK is integrated with Python Molecule Viewer(Pmv). The latter is built on top of DejaVu and ViewerFramework Python packages designed to provide support for building 3D visualization applications.
Pmv provides the environment to create the molecular modeling geometry needed.
The ARToolKit library was integrated with python by using the SWIG wrapping technologie.
ARtoolKit is a software library that can be used to calculate camera position and orientation relative to physical markers in real time.
It uses a single camera for position/orientation tracking. The fiduccial tracking code uses simple black squares.
