Introduction

ARGUI is a window system for ARToolkit based Augmented Reality applications under Windows. It allows for easy creation of interactive two-dimensional interfaces that are registered in 3D. These interfaces are called arObjects and can be triggered with a pointer-device and a keyboard. The handling is similar to an X11 window system as the arObject under the pointer is automatically activated and gets all input. Additionally, the user can focus an arObject permanently and zoom it from the marker position to fullscreen.
