amazing!!cool.
Thank you, very awesome!
wow! domo arigatou gozaimasu, mino san :)
Great work and performs really good!
I was wondering if it is possible to track multiple targets?
@korriander: yes! You have to replicate sensors inside the tracking configuration file (.xml).
hi all,
v1.1 has great features: CAD model tracking, AsSource node, 2D instant tracking. if you come to NODE, i will demo & explain these features!
please enjoy.
wow !! great
Metaio seemingly was bought by one of the better known Californian computer companies...

Hi Mino,
node15 is over, metaio sold, maybe it's time to explain how can we use this great contrbution?
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/SDK-DDK/metaio-Mobile-SDK.shtml
hey,
unfortunately metaio SDK cannot use for any commercial project no more. because they stopped sdk download & selling licenses.
metaio plugin itself works no problem if you installed sdk.
so i'd like to keep this page and support personally until receive warning from apple;)
please send message to me if you want to get sdk installer. (or get from Steryl's link?)
also try to find other AR SDK...
Hi Mino, steryl
Hey Mino here is a nice AR sdk comparison chart. ARMedia looks promising but the windows sdk is not yet available.
node without pins, not red, any ideas?
renderer TTY u have exception
prolly need to visual studio attached to vvvv process to track it
@graphicuserinterface
after copied dlls to metaio sdk dir, delete dlls from download dir. then please open sample patch and see what happen.
@bjoern
hey, thanks for useful url! keep watching.
instant traking is the shit, mino for governor
I just arrived.... im done or is there any workarround to test this??
404 Page not found!
can anybodyshare the sdk?
thank you!
@vjc4, @nrsz
please send message via my userpage: mino
Hi all!
The question of tracking multiple targets.
How to copy the sensor inside the configuration file (XML)?
Like this? But there is no success! @idab
@Evan: look at this configuration file: https://my.metaio.com/dev/fileadmin/user_upload/images/sdk/tracking_configuration/trackingdata_markerlessfast.xml
You have to duplicate "SensorCOS" and "COS" for every target inside one configuration file.
@idab Surprise!Very detailed answer, I will take the time to understand, thank you very much
Hi vvvvorum and mino!
I did everything as written in Installation, but nothing works.
First node red, then become gray, but they do not have pins.
I use win10 64-bit!
What can be wrong?
@isdzaurov
is vvvv 32bit/64bit? metaio plugin works only in vvvv 32bit.
also if you have dlls in same dir of help patch, please delete them and try again.
vuforia will support windows 10!

Hey mino,
any news about vuforia or other AR SDK?
idab, no updates from vuforia and still looking for other sdk
Hey,
first of al thank you mino for your contribution. It works great!
I have been using metaio for about a month now and trying out a few things for my school project.
Two days ago i ran into a problem, that the metaio.help wont show my webcam in vvvv.
InstantTracking.help still works, but all the patches that have the Metaio Node dont show my webcam image and instead a black screen. The strange thing is that it worked a couple of days ago.
I tried so many things. (1) Deleted all the changes i made to the patch since the problem (2) reinstalled the metaio SDK (3) reinstalled vvvv (4) tried on a different computer. Nothing has helped and i badly need it to work for my final project.
Did anyone experience something similar? Would appreciate if anyone could help me out here!
open with tty renderer and if some error shows paste here
That was a great advice to open with tty renderer! Thank you so much.
The problem was a corrupt xml tracking file.
Hi mino !
Do u have xml file for example?
Thanks!
hi, check Metaio SDK 6.0.2/tutorialContent_crossplatform/TutorialTrackingSamples/Assets.
Any ideas on why if i put more than two pictures on the xml file it doesn't pick them up?
the code is the same..copy - paste..
edit...
OK...It's picking up more than 2 pictures...the problem before seems to be that the third picture that I was trying to track was just a green rectangle..It seems that it doesn't pick up just a plain color...Bright and colorfull pictures are easier to track.
This should be metaio alternative.

it not support texture input yet, but they said support soon.
Hi, Mino!
I can recommend you useful guide about Comparison of Best Augmented Reality SDK for AR Development ( https://invisible.toys/best-augmented-reality-sdk/)
