Augmented reality offers a lot of promises, but is also prone to gimmickry and hype. FLARToolkit, a marker-tracking engine ported from C++ by Saqoosha and the libspark team, brings all of the above to the Web. FLARManager is an open-source framework that makes FLARToolkit more accessible. While this presentation gives an overview of developing augmented reality applications, it also investigates how FLARManager can be leveraged to generate new ways for users to interact with online content.

Who this presentation is for:
This presentation is designed for developers, interaction designers, and experimentalists who strive to find new modes of human-computer interaction.

What attendees will take from this presentation:
Attendees will leave with a deeper knowledge of implementing augmented reality and alternative controllers in web applications.
