artoolkitX-ts

artoolkitX-ts is the Typescript version of ArtoolkitX.js, the first emscripten port of ARToolkitX. Most of the features are in the library, but it's in an experimental stage. Actually it can track only barcode and pattern markers but we plan to add support for 2d markers too.

Examples

Test the examples:

• examples/simple_image.html it load a simple static image and output some message in the console.
• examples/simple_barcode.html barcode example - a colored cube should appear on the barcode marker.
• examples/simple_hiro.html pattern example - a colored cube should appear on the hiro marker.
• examples/simple_2d_tracking.html 2d tracking example with the pinball image - very bad perfs.
• examples/ArtoolkitX_example.html 2d tracking example in a WebWorker with the pinball image - very bad perfs.

Contributing

You can contribute to the project, just file an issue and send a PR: you are welcome! Follow the Build instructions if you make changes to the code.

Build

We use webpack as bundler, you need to rebuild the dist lib if you make changes. If you make changes to the C/C++ Source code you need to build the whole project. First of all you need to clone the artoolkitX_em_2d submodule: git submodule update --init then run the configure.sh script inside the main folder: ./configure.sh the script will run cmake and will create the config.h file necessary for the compilation. After this step you can install all nodejs dependencies:

npm install

You need emsdk 2.0.20 to build the wasm module, check if you have installed with emcc -v. So if you have installed it run the command:

npm run build

For a development dist build run:

npm run dev-ts

For a production-optimized dits build run:

npm run build-ts

this will produce ARToolkitX.js dist lib.

Future plans

• Add support for 2d markers! (only experimental examples for now!)
• NFT markers
• improved new build script for the wasm lib.
• npm package
• multi pattern marker support.
