I have an iBot firewire and it works quite well with the recent versions of
ARToolkit. I run at 640 X 480 and that helps a lot for tracking. I still
have not figured out how to calibrate the camera at 640 X 480 though. I am
using Windows 2000 as the OS.
Orange Micro/iBot now has a USB2.0 camera that is very cheap and available
from one of the national retailers (not sure if BestBuy, CompUSA or Circuit
City). I don't know if the USB version is fully supported in ARToolkit, but
I don't see any reason it wouldn't be.
Thanks
Mike
