Description

ARToolKit made its debut as an open-source project in 2001 and was managed by ARToolworks, which maintained an open-source version until its sale in 2015. Concerned about the dwindling engagement on the ARToolKit forum in late 2017 and the potential decline of this beloved project, Ben Vaughan and Phil Lamb, who were the former CEO and CTO of ARToolworks, established artoolkitX to guarantee ongoing development and support for the ARToolKit community. Supported by Realmax Inc, a prominent Chinese company at the forefront of developing innovative AR hardware and software, artoolkitX aims to revitalize and sustain the legacy of ARToolKit while fostering a thriving community around augmented reality technology. This initiative reflects a commitment to ensuring that the tools and resources for AR development remain accessible and relevant in an ever-changing technological landscape.

Description

MRTK-Unity is a Microsoft-led initiative that offers a comprehensive suite of components and functionalities designed to streamline the development of mixed reality applications across various platforms using Unity. It includes a versatile input system and foundational elements for spatial interaction and user interface creation. The framework allows developers to quickly prototype through in-editor simulations, providing instant feedback on modifications made. Additionally, it serves as an adaptable system where developers can easily interchange essential components. Among its features is a button control that accommodates multiple input methods, inclusive of the articulated hand tracking available on HoloLens 2. Users can also access a standard UI for the manipulation of objects within a three-dimensional environment. There are scripts available for object manipulation with either one or two hands, and a 2D-style plane that supports scrolling through articulated hand input. The toolkit includes scripts to enhance object interactivity with visual feedback and theme customization. Furthermore, it offers various object positioning behaviors, such as tag-along, body-lock, constant view size, and surface magnetism, along with a script designed for arranging an array of objects in a three-dimensional configuration, making it a robust choice for MR app developers. Ultimately, MRTK-Unity empowers developers to create immersive experiences with greater efficiency and flexibility.
