We are presenting a software development framework called OSGART for Rapid Application Developement (RAD) in the domain of Mixed Reality (MR). This toolkit is being developed as an extension to OpenSceneGraph [3]. It implements a hierarchical, scenegraph based approach to marker based AR using the AR Toolkit [4]. Due to its’ tight integration with OpenSceneGraph it provides a valuable test environment for bi-directional transition between immersive Virtual Environments (IVE) and Augmented Reality (AR).
osgSWIG on Windows in combination with wxPython
OpenSceneGraph implements a comprehensive scenegraph API for OpenGL. This project utilises SWIG to generate various bindings for Python, Ruby, Java and Lua. This toolkit came to live while working on various projects around AR and VR at the HITLabNZ. HITLabNZ agreed we need to involve more people and allowed me to open it up and I subsequently moved it into a repository on Google Code under the new name osgSWIG.
