as far as I understood ARToolKit has no support
for any camera input. ARToolKit is just a very
low level API for marker detection based on
image data. How you get that image data is=20
another story. There are several libraries=20
that do that, for every platform there is a different
lib unfortunately. There are some efforts to make this
platform independent (best bet is OpenML, www.khronos.org),
but they are not very mature and things seem to be
stucked somehow.=20
For Windows there is Thomas Pintaric's library,
for Linux there is video4linux, for the Mac I=20
don't know (will be something you can do
with just on click :) ...
